Former US President Donald Trump has announced that, contrary to previous reports, he will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday.
– As you know, Zelensky has asked me for a meeting, and I will meet him tomorrow (Friday) at Trump Tower in New York, Trump told reporters. The Ukrainian side confirms that the meeting will actually take place.
Zelensky, who is visiting the United States, met with President Joe Biden and Trump’s electoral rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, in Washington on Thursday.
Biden announced a new military aid package to Kiev worth $8 billion, which he said will help Ukraine “win this war.” New deliveries include: precision glide bombs to improve the long-range attack capabilities of the Ukrainian army.
On Wednesday, the US president and the leaders of 30 other countries signed a joint G7-EU statement on the reconstruction of Ukraine, which reaffirmed, among other things, his commitments to freeze Russian assets until Russia pays compensation. The meeting was attended by President Andrzej Duda, among others.
Trump: Ukraine is gone. Zelensky is the best trader in history
Trump said at a rally in North Carolina on Wednesday that “Ukraine no longer exists” because of US support for Kiev. He accused Biden of “causing this situation when a deal could have been made and no one would have died.”
Trump previously called Zelensky “the best trader in history” because “every time he comes to the US, he leaves with $60 billion.” He also argued that Zelensky would like Kamala Harris to win America’s November presidential election.
Trump has maintained for months that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if he had still been in the White House. At the same time, he announces that if he wins the presidential elections, he will end the Russian-Ukrainian war before officially coming to power.
