White House weighs inviting Zelensky to Trump's face-to-face meeting with Putin in Alaska

The White House is considering inviting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to President Trump's highly anticipated face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska next week. Discussions are underway about including Zelensky as the two world leaders prepare to meet in person on Friday in another bid to end Moscow's 41-month-old invasion of Ukraine, senior White House officials and insiders told NBC News Saturday. 'It's being discussed,' said one person briefed on the internal talks.

'It would have been sooner, but I guess there's security arrangements that unfortunately people have to make,' Trump told reporters at the White House Friday, acknowledging a potential proposal will include 'some swapping of territories to the betterment of both' war-torn nations. 'Otherwise I'd do it much quicker, He would, too. He'd like to meet as soon as possible, I agree with it.' 4 Friday's face-to-face will be the first time Trump and Putin have met in person since 2019.
