Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Benjamin Netanyahu to meet with President Trump in Washington for critical war talks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are arriving in Washington to meet with President Trump. The meeting occurs as both nations seek to maintain strong support from the administration during their respective conflicts. While Netanyahu has seen his standing with the administration decline since the start of the war on Iran, Zelenskyy has gained favor with many supporters of the administration's core policies. Zelenskyy is seeking to secure a Russia sanctions bill to honor the late Senator Lindsey Graham. Meanwhile, Netanyahu faces a more challenging position as the administration has prioritized other regional interests. Despite their different trajectories, both leaders recognize that the administration's support can shift rapidly. The visits coincide with the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican hawk who was a staunch supporter of both the Ukrainian and Israeli war efforts.
