White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt described both the Zelenskyy meeting and a separate sit-down Trump held later Tuesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as "positive and productive." Tuesday's talks also touched on efforts to jump-start direct negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. Zelenskyy told U.S. senators after meeting with Trump that stepping up the diplomatic process remained a priority. Zelenskyy has said Russia provided Iran with satellite imagery of U.S. military bases in the Persian Gulf, an allegation Trump said he intends to raise directly with Putin. "Ukraine has a lot to share with those who help us protect lives," Zelenskyy wrote of that meeting.
