Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, arrived in Washington, DC, on Friday in preparation for a meeting with Donald Trump, the president of the United States.
Zelensky will meet with Trump to sign a key minerals deal that would help end Russia’s war.
Though some details of the agreement have emerged since the meeting was announced this week, the exact terms remain unclear, as do European leaders.
On Wednesday, Trump told reporters that Zelenskyy could “forget about” any ambitions to join NATO, but the Ukrainian president also said that day that he needs security guarantees; otherwise, “we won’t have a ceasefire; nothing will work, nothing.”
On Thursday, Trump also disclosed that he could not remember calling Zelenskyy a “dictator.”
This came after reporters asked him several times about comments he made last week about Zelensky.
Trump oftentimes either ignored the question or could not remember making the statement.
Trump earlier this month blasted Zelensky as a “dictator without elections” after the US left Ukraine out of its initial peace talks with Russia.
