Donald Trump says he will 'probably' meet Zelenskiy next week

“Probably, yes,” Trump said in response to a question from a reporter about whether he will meet the Ukrainian leader. Trump did not provide further details.

In recent months, some other world leaders who have visited the U.S. for summits and meetings with President Joe Biden have ended up meeting with Trump as well. Trump faces Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in the Nov. 5 U.S. election.

Zelenskiy said in August he wanted to present a peace plan to Biden, Harris and Trump. While Trump and Zelenskiy talked over the phone in July, they have not talked in person since Trump’s 2017-2021 term.
