President Trump and President Zelenskyy met at the White House on Tuesday as the front lines of two separate conflicts appeared to draw closer together. The US war against Iran and Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine have shown signs of strategic overlap in recent days.
During the talks, the two leaders discussed the latest developments on the battlefield and the future of the US-Ukraine relationship. Zelenskyy pressed for continued American support and stronger defense capabilities for Kyiv.
The meeting came as Washington attempts to balance diplomacy across multiple fronts simultaneously. Analysts say the convergence of the two wars could present new challenges for US foreign policy in the months ahead.
