The visit is set for 9:45 a.m. at Trump Tower in New York, less than a day after Vice President Kamala Harris met with the Ukrainian leader and expressed unwavering support
Former U.S. president Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky shake hands during a meeting in New York on Sept. 25, 2019, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.Donald Trump is set to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as public tensions have been rising between the two over Ukraine’s defence against Russia’s invasion.
The meeting is highly anticipated and comes as Election Day nears, with Trump and Harris taking sharply different positions on backing Ukraine in the third year of its war with Russia. In an interview with The New Yorker that was published earlier this week, Zelensky implied Trump does not understand and oversimplifies the conflict. The Ukrainian leader said Trump’s running mate JD Vance was “too radical” and had essentially advocated for Ukraine to “make a sacrifice” by “giving up its territories.”
Meanwhile, Harris on Thursday stood alongside Zelensky and said Trump’s push for Ukraine to quickly cut a deal to end the war were “not proposals for peace,” but “proposals for surrender.” Trump on Thursday said he was not advocating for a surrender.
