European Leaders Arrive At White House For Trump-Zelensky SHOWDOWN | White House LIVE

A dramatic day unfolds in Washington as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and NATO’s new Secretary General Mark Rutte arrive at the White House ahead of a joint meeting with Donald Trump. The gathering, centered on Ukraine’s uncertain future, comes amid fierce Russian escalation on the battlefield and growing divisions in the West over strategy. With Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky already under pressure, European leaders are racing to project unity as Trump signals he will demand concessions to Moscow. The stakes are immense: the fate of Ukrainian territory, the credibility of NATO, and the balance of power in Europe hang in the balance. The arrival of these leaders sets the stage for a tense diplomatic showdown, one that could reshape the trajectory of the war — and the future of Western resolve against Russia. #Zelensky #Trump #Putin #WhiteHouseShowdown #UkraineWar #ZelenskySuit #JDVance #Crimea #Donbas #NATO #UkraineResistance #USUkraineTensions #AmericaFirst #PeaceDealOrWar #DiplomaticDrama #TransatlanticCrisis #BreakingNews #GlobalPolitics #RussiaUkraineConflict #WorldWatching ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.124~

Trump-Zelensky SHOWDOWN Will Lead To Full-Scale EU-U.S War? Ukraine On Edge As Putin Derail Talks

A historic confrontation is unfolding in Washington as President Donald Trump meets Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, joined by key European leaders including Macron, Merz, Meloni, Starmer, von der Leyen, Stubb, and NATO’s Mark Rutte. This comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he backed a plan for Ukraine to cede Crimea and parts of Donbas, abandon NATO, and accept neutrality. Europe and Kyiv fiercely reject this “surrender deal,” warning it rewards Russian aggression and threatens NATO itself. Trump’s transactional “America First” diplomacy—focused on quick wins and cutting U.S. military spending—clashes directly with Europe’s push for long-term security and continued military aid. As Russia intensifies strikes, Europe views concessions as catastrophic. Tensions inside the White House are boiling: will this meeting end in compromise, or spark a full-scale rift between America and Europe that could reshape global order? #Trump #Zelensky #Putin #WhiteHouseShowdown #USEUClash #UkraineWar #AlaskaSummit #Crimea #Donbas #NATO #Macron #MerkelSuccessor #KeirStarmer #GiorgiaMeloni #VonDerLeyen #MarkRutte #AlexanderStubb #UkraineResistance #AmericaFirst #GlobalCrisis ~HT.178~ED.194~GR.124~
