President Donald Trump is hosting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and European leaders at the White House on August 18, 2025, following his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15, 2025, which ended without a peace agreement. Attendees include British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, aiming to present a united front for Ukraine’s inclusion in peace talks and U.S. security guarantees amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. The meetings, starting at noon, follow a tense February 2025 Oval Office encounter between Trump, Zelenskiy, and Vice President JD Vance.
