Not even a full day after hosting European leaders who expressed solidarity with Ukraine, Trump on Tuesday reverted to his usual pro-Putin self.

President Donald Trump has failed to secure an agreement from Vladimir Putin to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, falling short in his most significant move yet to stop the bloodshed, even after rolling out the red carpet for the man who started it.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent delivered this line in response to criticism of President Trump inviting Russian President Vladimir Putin to U.S. territory: "He displayed a huge amount of military hardware and then did a flyover.

In doing so, Trump would abandon Europe, open the door for China to invade Taiwan, and reward Russian President Vladimir Putin for his unprovoked and pitiless invasion.

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he has ruled out putting U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine, but said the United States might provide air support as part of a deal to end Russia's war in the country.

However U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff revealed that Putin agreed to allow the U.S. and its European allies to offer Ukraine a security guarantee at his meeting with Trump.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's White House meeting with Trump could set stage for trilateral summit as Ukraine rejects any peace deal undermining its sovereignty with Russia.

The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is scheduled to speak with the media at 1 p.m. ET on Tuesday, according to the White House, a day after President Donald Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders.
