The fate of the war in Ukraine and peace on the European continent hanging in the balance today at the White House. President Trump posted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky along with a lineup of European leaders just days after his pivotal sit-down with Vladimir Putin. No big Oval Office blow-ups like last time. It was very calm and they made inroads on a possible trilateral summit deal between Russia, Ukraine and the U.S. Thank you very much for being here. Thank you so much, Mr. President. If I can, first of all, thank you for the invitation and thank you very much for your efforts, personal efforts to stop killings and stop this war. Thank you. And using this opportunity, many thanks to your wife, First Lady of the United States. She sent a letter to Putin about our children, abducted children, and my wife, First Lady of Ukraine. She gave the letter. It's not to you, to your wife. Oh, I was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we're saying this sensitive topic, yeah. Yeah, please. And thanks to our partners and that you supported this format. And after our meeting, we can have leaders who are around us, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, EU, NATO, I mean, all partners around Ukraine supporting us. Thanks to them. And thank you very much for the invitation. Thank you very much for being here. President Trump. Do you think it's time? Yes, Peter, go ahead. Thank you, President Trump. So President Zelensky, you say in a post on X today, Russia must end this war, which it itself started. President Trump, you say President Zelensky of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately if he wants to, which is. Yeah, I think that's true. I think we're going to have a meeting. I think everything works out well today. We'll have a trilat. And I think there will be a reasonable chance of ending the war when we do that. Is this the end of the road for American support for Ukraine? Is today's meeting deal or no deal? I can never say that. It's never the end of the road. People are being killed and we want to stop that. So I would not say it's the end of the road. No, I think we have a good chance of doing it. It's been almost four years now that a lot of people were killed last week. A lot of people last week. I mean, millions of people killed, but a lot of people last week, for whatever reason, a big number, a lot of soldiers, both on both sides. And I know the president. I know myself and I believe Vladimir Putin wants to see it ended. And you met with Putin on Friday. Today, you've got President Zelensky here. As you listen to Russia and Ukraine, which side has the better cards? Well, I don't want to say that. I'm just here to be. Look, this isn't my war. This is Joe Biden's war. He's the one that had a lot to do with this happening. And we want to get it ended. And we want it to end good for everybody. We want it to end good. The people of Ukraine have suffered incredibly. President Zelensky, are you prepared to keep sending Ukrainian troops to their deaths for another couple of years, or are you going to agree to redraw the maps? Thank you for your question. So first of all, you know, we live under each day attacks. You know, that today has been a lot of attacks and a lot of wounded people and the child was that small one, one, one year and a half. So we need to stop this war to stop Russia and we need support American and European partners. We will do our best for this. So and I think we showed that we are strong people and we supported the idea of the United States of personal help President Trump to stop this war to make a diplomatic way of finishing this war. And we are ready for trilateral. As President said, this is a good signal about this. I think this is very good. Thank you, Mr. President, if the peace deal will be achieved, are you going to be willing to send American peacekeepers to Ukraine? Well, we're going to work with Ukraine. We're going to work with everybody and we're going to make sure that if there's peace, the peace is going to stay long term. This is very long term. We're not talking about a two year peace and then we end up in this mess again. We're going to make sure that everything's good. We'll work with Russia. We're going to work with Ukraine. We're going to make sure it works. And I think if we can get to peace, it's going to work. I have no doubt about it. Your team has talked about security guarantees. Could that involve U.S. troops? Would you roll that out in the future? We'll let you know that maybe later today. We're meeting with seven great leaders of great countries also. And we'll be talking about that. They'll all be involved, but there'll be a lot of there'll be a lot of help when it comes to security. There's going to be a lot of help. It's going to be good. They are first line of defense because they're there. They're Europe, but we're going to help them out also. We'll be involved. Vladimir Putin mentioned that the war will not end without addressing the root causes of this war. Do you have you had an understanding? What are the root causes of this war? Well, look, the war is going to end when it ends. I can't tell you, but the war is going to end. And this gentleman wants it to end. And Vladimir Putin wants it to end. I think the whole world is tired of it. And we're going to get it ended. It was you know, I've done six wars. I've ended six wars. And I thought this maybe would be the easiest one. And it's not the easiest one. It's it's a tough one. A lot of a lot of reasons for it. And they'll be talking about it for a long time. But they'll be talking about the others. Look, India, Pakistan. We're talking about big places. When you look at you just take a look at some of these wars, you go to Africa and take a look at that Rwanda and the Congo Republic of the Congo. That's been going on for 31 years. And so we've done a total of six that we really have six, not including the fact that we obliterated and turned out to be a total obliteration, the nuclear in, as you said, the nuclear, the future nuclear capability of Iran. And this one, I think we're going to get solved also. I think I feel confident we're going to get it solved. President Trump, do you think it's fair to for Ukraine and for Russia to achieve a lasting and durable peace if Ukraine sees its territories that Russia hasn't yet conquered? Do you think it's a fair piece for Ukraine? We're going to have a lasting peace. Just to answer the first part of your question, we're going to have a lasting peace. I hope it's going to be immediately. I hope it doesn't have to go on. And I think people in the whole world is going to be very happy when that's announced. You posted on social media, Mr. President, a very touching letter from the First Lady, and the letter was hand-delivered to President Putin. And it calls for an end to the war, essentially, because of the children and the children's future. Why did the First Lady feel that letter was necessary? Was it because she believes that Mr. Putin is the aggressor in the war? Is a similar letter being hand-delivered to President Zelensky? So the First Lady felt very strongly. She's watched the same thing that you watch and that I watch. I see things that you don't get to see, and it's horrible. But when she's got a great love of children, she has a wonderful son that she loves probably more than anybody, including me. I hate to say it, but she loves her son. She loves children. And she hates to see – she hates to see something like this happening. And that goes for other wars too. I mean, she sees the heartbreak, the parents, the funerals that you see on television – always funerals. We want to see something other than funerals. No, she felt it was a beautiful letter. It was very well received by him. And she did ask me to say, you know, she would love to see this end. She would love to see it end. And she says it very openly, very proudly, and with great sorrow because so many people have been killed. Are you open to holding an election in your country? Yes, of course. We are open for election, yes. We have to do safety circumstances. And a little bit we need to work in the parliament because during the war you can't have election. But we can do security. We need – maybe, how to say – we need a truth, yes, everywhere – the battlefield, the sky, the sea – yes, to make it possible for people to do democratic, open, legal elections. So you say during the war you can't have elections. So let me just say three and a half years from now – so you mean if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections. Oh, I'm just kidding. I wonder what the fate of the country is going to be. Speaking of news, I got a question for you. This sounds insane for me even to ask this, but do you think the American media really doesn't even want a peace deal? Because they've seen they've been so critical of you every step of the way as you lead the charge for peace. It's an amazing phenomenon. I said that if in the settlement you got Moscow, St. Petersburg, and thousands of miles around them, they would say I made a bad deal. The level of hatred and animosity is incredible – not with all. I mean, we have great people up here. We also have terrible people up there that I think are told what to say. But in solving all of these wars – they don't even write about it. I saw major wars. I saw wars that have been going on for 31, 35, and 37, and a couple quicker ones – one that was going to go into a full-blown deal very quickly. You know, the one I'm talking about, it was a big one. But they don't even write about that. No matter what I do, no matter what – and, you know, this is not anything to do with you. It's probably to your advantage in a certain way. But no matter what I do, no matter what deal I make, from my standpoint, you'll come out good. Maybe President Putin will come out good. But they'll say Trump was absolutely horrible. It's just that – and I've lived with that for a long time. I've lived with it since just before the first election. I used to get great publicity. Now I get the worst publicity anyone has ever gotten in office. But I wanted a landslide so that people understand. They're the only ones that count, ultimately. Later on, President Trump holding a family photo with European and NATO leaders, and then a roundtable where there was plenty on the agenda – everything from possible land swaps to Russia agreeing to accept security guarantees for Ukraine. I believe that, in a very significant step, President Putin agreed that Russia would accept security guarantees for Ukraine. And this is one of the key points that we need to consider. And we're going to be considering that at the table. A lot of people will complain about Trump's how, not necessarily the why. So everyone now, however, seems to be okay with the how, because he's also talking about security guarantees, and the Europeans are like, okay. And we're waiting to just get confirmation on this. He wanted to call Putin right there with everybody and just say, do we have a deal? Right. Before I compliment the president, I am confused about security guarantees without being in NATO. That's kind of like a foreign policy version of friends with benefits. You know, there's no ring on the finger, no formal commitments, but whenever you want a casual get-together, we'll be there. I don't see how that works. I mean, I guess you could do it, but it kind of negates the utility of NATO, right? I mean, it's like, why get married if you can milk the cow for free? That's what my mom used to say. And I said, mom, I'm not into that sort of thing. But anyway, maybe you don't need, I mean, it's like almost like, well, maybe you don't need NATO if you get the same perks without being in NATO. But the spectacle of this is undeniable. It feels like optimism. It looks like progress because that's Trump's mindset. It's the cliched power of positive thinking. It actually works. Fact is, if you want war, you know, there'll be plenty of people who will accommodate. They make a lot of money off it, he doesn't want it. And you ask about, you know, what's behind him. He is the most anti-war president ever. And you can question why. Who cares? My theory is he can't compute waste, whether it's blood, money, or time. He just doesn't, he can't stand it. You know, how many peace deals has he brokered so far? You had Cambodia and Thailand. You had Rwanda and the Republic of Congo. Azerbaijan and Armenia. I don't need to pronounce them. India and Pakistan, and I think there was Egypt and Ethiopia. There's more than a few. Life is unpredictable. I mean, the most bellicose personality we have ever seen on the political stage is also the most effective peacemaker we've seen. I do love how the media portrays him as weak, you know, as every world leader comes to meet with him. If Obama had done this, they would give him another Nobel, a Grammy, an Oscar, a Tony, and the Stanley Cup. And then you have these other guys that, oh, how dare, you know, there must be an alternative to this. You know, they don't want communication with Putin. But these are the people that always say, let's have a conversation. But they never really actually want one at all. So I think this is another kind of great thing that is probably going to turn out to be great. And a lot of people are going to hate that it's great. Don't forget, they would have given Obama the Heisman. Yes, they would have. And he throws like a girl. Baseball trophy. Kidding. Katie, let me give you the last word. We've covered a lot. Well, there were no daddy references today. So the head of NATO failed to bring that back to the table. Remember, he called him daddy at the NATO summit and then addressed it last time he was in the Oval Office. But I just can't. I mean, this is a president who went to Alaska on Friday, flew B-2 bombers over the head of Vladimir Putin, had a summit, flew back, got home at four in the morning, then went golfing both Saturday and Sunday, gets his meeting together today, and has every single leader there say, we've done more in the last two weeks than we've done over the last three and a half years. So that not only emphasizes President Trump's leadership on the global stage to get results, but it also shows just how absent Joe Biden was for the last three and a half years and how dangerous it was for the United States on the global stage to be completely M.I.A. from actually trying to manage and prevent this war from starting in the first place. I also found that Trump's humility today was very interesting. He is a dealmaker. He's always very confident he can get something done. I think he still is confident. But he kept saying, look, we're going to do our best to get something done, but maybe we won't get a deal. So we're still watching to see what the details are. I thought, too, that he was recognizing and being mindful that everybody there has their own constituencies. Right. Including Zelensky, he himself does, and then everybody else, including Macron. I hope they gave him the business about recognizing Palestine as a state, too. Yeah.
