Zelenskyy says he and Trump have 'good meeting' before Graham funeral

Key Points:

• President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met privately at the White House to discuss Ukraine's production of powerful weapons, including licenses for Patriot missile systems, and other support measures amid the ongoing war with Russia.
• Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for U.S. aid and emphasized the importance of reinvigorating diplomatic efforts, while also offering condolences to Trump for the recent death of Senator Lindsey Graham, a strong supporter of Ukraine.
• The meeting coincided with Zelenskyy’s visit to honor Graham, whose final official act was securing sanctions against countries purchasing Russian oil and gas, with bipartisan Senate support expected to advance the legislation soon.
• Zelenskyy warned of Russia aiding Iran through satellite imagery used in strikes on U.S. bases, a claim Trump downplayed but said he would discuss with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
• Far-right activist Laura Loomer, who has influenced Trump and recently changed her stance on the war after visiting Ukraine, expressed optimism about U.S. support for Ukraine following her meeting with Zelenskyy.
