  • Story Text:U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday (March 19) that he had a "very good telephone call" with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, their first conversation since an Oval Office meeting descended into a shouting match on February 28.
    Trump has long promised to end Europe's deadliest conflict since World War Two. But his outreach to Putin has unnerved European allies, who fear it heralds a fundamental shift after 80 years in which defending Europe from Russian expansionism was the core mission of U.S. foreign policy.
    Trump and Zelenskiy have met periodically over the years since Trump's first term. Some of those meetings include the following:
    Zelenskiy on September 25, 2019 met with Trump in New York - just hours after the Trump administration released a summary of a telephone call between the two leaders showing Trump had pressed Zelenskiy to investigate a political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden.
    Trump, Zelenskiy and French President Emmanuel Macron held a trilateral meeting on December 7, 2024 ahead of the re-opening ceremony for the Notre-Dame cathedral.
    Trump said on September 27, 2024 he would work with both Ukraine and Russia to end their war, as he stood next to Zelenskiy before their meeting in New York. Trump praised Zelenskiy, but said he also had a solid relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
