Zelensky Meets Irish Pm on Way to Trump Visit
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy met Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin during a brief stop off in Ireland on his way to a key meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, where the Ukrainian leader will sign an agreement on rare earth minerals. The success of this deal hinges on those talks and continued U.S. aid, according to Zelenskiy. Zelenskiy thanked Martin for his support and the Irish people for the shelter they have provided Ukrainians who fled the Russian invasion in 2022.
- The visit underscores the evolving dynamics of European leadership in navigating the complexities of international diplomacy, particularly in relation to Ukraine's ongoing conflict with Russia.
- Will Trump's involvement in brokering a peace settlement also carry significant weight from other world leaders, potentially shaping global responses to the crisis?
