Europe Tense as Trump Prepares to Lash Zelensky in Washington Again
Monday, 18 August 2025 () US President Donald Trump will host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on August 18 at the White House, with American officials pushing Kyiv to agree on a framework for a future peace deal while Europe braces for possible tensions. US Seeks Consensus on Peace Framework According to US envoy Steven Witkoff, Washington hopes to secure a unified position from Kyiv on the outlines of a settlement.

Prior to that, a series of arrivals and sessions will take place at the White House, including the arrival of European leaders at 19:00, Zelensky’s greeting at 20:00, and a wider EU meeting later in the evening.
