Trump, who has been openly critical of continued U.S. support for Ukraine throughout his 2024 campaign, stated during the meeting, “We will work with both sides of the war to settle this.” His remarks reflect his broader stance of reducing U.S. involvement in the war while pushing for a negotiated settlement between Ukraine and Russia.

The meeting itself seemed unlikely just hours before, given Trump’s previous critiques of Zelensky on the campaign trail. However, standing side by side, the two leaders expressed a shared goal of ending the war. Zelensky affirmed this, saying, “We have a common view that the war has to stop and that Putin cannot win,” while hinting at more in-depth discussions about his "victory plan" to pressure Russia into peace.

Despite the friction that has characterized their relationship, Trump emphasized that his rapport with Zelensky was solid. “We have a very good relationship,” Trump insisted, underscoring a willingness to engage diplomatically with the Ukrainian leader despite their past differences.

For Trump, the meeting offered an opportunity to position himself as a potential broker for peace in Ukraine, contrasting his approach to that of the Biden administration, which has supported Ukraine with billions in military aid. Trump’s emphasis on a settlement reflects his campaign message of ending “forever wars” and redirecting American focus toward domestic issues.

Zelensky, for his part, continues to seek international backing to secure a decisive victory against Russian forces. His “victory plan,” discussed with Trump, is part of a broader strategy to end the conflict on terms favorable to Ukraine, though it's unclear how Trump’s vision of a settlement aligns with Zelensky’s aspirations.

As the war drags on and with the U.S. election on the horizon, the meeting between Trump and Zelensky adds an important dynamic to the conversation. Whether this meeting will lead to substantive changes in the approach to the war remains to be seen, but it certainly underscores the growing geopolitical significance of the U.S. election on the future of Ukraine.
