Back in the Oval Office with press, #Zelensky sat next to #Trump & clasped his hands in front of him. “Thanks so much Mr. President,” he said, adding that he thanked Trump for his personal efforts to stop the war.

“It’s an honor to have the president of #Ukraine with us,” Trump said. “We had a good meeting just a while ago with the president of #Russia. Today’s meeting is very important.”
