US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are scheduled to meet in Washington on Tuesday, July 28, a White House official said on Friday.
According to a Reuters report, citing a Ukrainian source, Zelensky was interested in travelling to the United States, but his team was waiting for official confirmation of Trump’s schedule from the White House.
Earlier on Friday, right-wing activist and Trump ally Laura Loomer said Zelensky had told her he would likely be in the United States next week for a trip that would include a meeting with Trump.
Zelensky is reportedly visiting the US to attend the funeral for US Senator Lindsey Graham, who died earlier this month, she said in a post on X.
Reuters could not get a comment from Zelensky on the planned meeting.
Netanyahu to meet Trump on Tuesday
Another Reuters report said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will also meet with US President Donald Trump on Tuesday, July 24.
According to a statement from Netanyahu’s office, the Israeli PM will travel to Washington on Monday, July 27.
He will also attend US Senator Lindsey Graham’s funeral, his office said.
Graham was a major supporter of Ukraine, travelling there 10 times since the Russian invasion. He pushed for sanctions on Russia as well as US backing for Kyiv.
