Von der Leyen to travel to Washington to join Zelenskyy-Trump talks

ADVERTISEMENT Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to arrive in Brussels where he will meet with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The pair will then together participate in the virtual meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. In a post on X, von der Leyen says she will then join Zelenskyy at the White House on Monday to participate in his meeting with US President Donald Trump, at Zelenskyy's request. The Commission president noted that other European leaders will also join the meeting, but it's not clear as of yet whether they will be travelling to Washington or joining virtually. Berlin says Merz will also be travelling to the US capital on Monday to join the talks. "The trip will serve as an exchange of information with US President Donald Trump following his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska," said the chancellor's spokesperson. The Elysee have also confirmed Macron's attendance in Monday's talks. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is also believed to be attending. Italian media say Meloni has cut short her holiday and returned to Rome on Sunday to prepare to travel to the United States. Our journalists are working on this story and will update it as soon as more information becomes available.
