President Trump held separate meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House amid ongoing conflicts involving Iran and Russia. Both leaders were in Washington to attend the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham, a strong advocate for Ukraine and Israel, who had recently visited Ukraine before his sudden death. Zelenskyy described his discussion with Trump as productive, focusing on the production of Patriot missile interceptors crucial for Ukraine’s defense against Russia. This meeting followed their recent encounter at a NATO event in Turkey, where the U.S. agreed to allow Ukraine to manufacture its own Patriot missiles. Trump also met with Netanyahu, marking their first face-to-face since the U.S. and Israel’s involvement in the war with Iran. Although Trump has supported Netanyahu, he has recently urged the Israeli leader to adopt a more cautious approach, particularly regarding Lebanon.
