US President Donald Trump made statements at the White House regarding the ceasefire talks between the US and Ukraine in Saudi Arabia. Noting that Ukraine had accepted the 30-day ceasefire, Trump said, "I hope President Putin accepts this as well and we can work this out."
Referring to the difference between the tense meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House last month and today, Trump said, "I think this is a huge difference, there's a huge difference between what happened in the Oval Office and a full ceasefire."
Emphasizing that Ukraine accepted the ceasefire, Trump said, "I hope Russia accepts it too. We will meet with them today and tomorrow and try to reach an agreement. If we can convince Russia, that would be great. If we can't, the war will continue and people will lose their lives."
When asked whether he would invite Zelenskiy to the White House again, Trump replied, "Of course, absolutely."
