Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump & Zelensky: High-Stakes White House Talks
Caption: Trump & Zelensky: High-Stakes White House Talks. Donald Trump says he has "a lot of respect" for Volodymyr Zelensky ahead of their White House meeting. Asked if he would apologize for calling Zelensky a "dictator," Trump said he couldn't believe he had said it. After meeting UK PM Keir Starmer, Trump says peace efforts between Ukraine and Russia are progressing “rapidly." Trump previously blamed Zelensky for the war, saying he should have ended it "years ago.” Zelensky hopes to secure U.S. commitments for Ukraine’s safety in any future peace deal. A key part of the visit: a deal granting the U.S. access to Ukraine’s rare earth minerals. Trump argues that U.S. mining operations in Ukraine would deter future Russian aggression. Starmer signals Britain’s willingness to deploy troops post-war—if backed by U.S. support. Trump: "The British military is incredible. But if they need help, I'll always be there.” Asked why he appears to trust Putin, Trump says: "You never know what you're getting.” The Kremlin insists it will not surrender occupied Ukrainian territories in any peace deal. U.S. and Russian officials meet in Istanbul to discuss restoring diplomatic ties. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
