The first lady did not attend the summit between President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday.

President Donald Trump shared on social media the "peace letter" from first lady Melania Trump that was hand delivered to Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska on Friday.

A member of the president’s own party is giving him flak over a lucrative White House deal he struck after digging his buddy’s company out of a $5.5 billion hole.

European leaders and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy will do their best to appeal to President Trump at a meeting in the White House on Monday. Trump officials took to Sunday talk shows to defend Trump’s handling of his meeting with Russian President Putin and claim Trump never went to the meeting hoping for a ceasefire deal,

Trump’s friendly meeting with Putin in Alaska on Friday was a setback for Ukraine and its European allies. But Kyiv was left with one small glimmer of hope: a U.S. proposal to create security guarantees for Ukraine, designed to deter future Russian aggression.

Several leaders have confirmed they will be travelling to Washington, as the UK, France and Germany are set to hold Ukraine talks on Sunday.

After leaving Alaska, Trump says he would prefer to "go directly to a peace agreement" to end the war in Ukraine as he prepares to meet Zelensky on Monday.

After stepping off Air Force One, Trump applauded as Putin approached along a red carpet laid out for each leader.

The U.S. president declared Saturday that he would forego his previous demand for an initial ceasefire, making it easier for Putin to continue the war and dictate terms of a peace agreement at gunpoint.
