President Donald Trump will host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Friday, a day after a lengthy Trump-Putin call. Trump, who had recently seemed open to selling Tomahawk cruise missiles to Kyiv, now signals hesitation, saying the U.S. “can’t deplete” its own stock, after Putin warned the sale would damage relations. Zelenskyy still seeks long‑range strikes and plans to pitch U.S. energy deals, including LNG storage in Ukraine. Trump says ending the war is his top priority, plans to meet Putin in Budapest, and hints future talks may be indirect.
