A senior US official who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity about the trip said Trump will meet with Zelensky on Wednesday to discuss "how we can end the war."
Assessment
Former US President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to meet with Ukraine's President Zelensky and Syrian leaders on the sidelines of an upcoming NATO summit. The meeting with Zelensky, focused on ending the war, marks a significant diplomatic engagement by Trump outside official US channels. The lack of detail about the Syrian portion of the meetings leaves important questions about which Syrian leaders are involved and what agenda is being pursued.
