(NBC, KYMA/KECY) - A slew of European leaders will join Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House Monday.
The offices for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Finnish President Alexander Stubb all confirmed they will meet with the President Donald Trump Monday.
President Trump spoke with the leaders and Zelenskky by phone on Saturday about America's new approach to ending Russia's war in Ukraine, which would see the U.S. taking part in a potential NATO-like security guarantee for Ukraine as part of a deal with Russia.
This comes after Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin for a summit in Alaska last Friday, which Zelenskyy was excluded from.
