In a social media post, Trump said the scheduled meeting between the leaders in the White House East Room continued later in the Oval Office. He added that the meeting was very good and that the leaders discussed security guarantees for Ukraine involving both European countries and the U.S. however, the Post did not mention the possibility of a ceasefire or what Trump has called land swaps, two more contentious issues. Trump wrote that he called Putin after the meeting and started planning a meeting between Putin and Zelensky. After that, Trump wrote, will come a trilateral meeting, including him.
