The meeting follows an apparent message that Zelenskyy sent Trump requesting a meeting, which the President posted to his Truth Social account on Thursday evening.
Zelenskyy's meeting request was sent to President Trump via Deputy Ambassador to Ukraine, Denys Sienik.
Senior advisor to Trump and Former Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff at the White House, Dan Scavino shared a post-meeting press conference to his X account:

NBC News reported: "Trump said he would work to end the Russia-Ukraine war with a deal “that’s good for both sides."
Trump said the two leaders "have a very good relationship, and I also have a very good relationship, as you know, with [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin." Zelenskyy added that he hoped they would continue to have a good relationship.
"It takes two to tango, and we will," Trump responded.
After their meeting, Trump told Fox News that he had not changed his position on the war. "We both want to see this end, we both want to see a fair deal made," he said.
Trump said that the war is a "complicated puzzle" and when asked what a fair deal would entail, he said it's "too early to say that."'
