Live updates: Trump, Zelensky, European leaders talk as momentum builds toward trilateral meeting

Momentum was building Monday toward a trilateral meeting with President Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump and Zelensky held a high-stakes Oval Office meeting Monday afternoon, which the Ukrainian leader described as "very good." Leaders from NATO and six European nations then joined Trump and Zelensky in the White House East Room for further discussion.

Trump has said he would speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin following this larger meeting, just days after they met at a U.S. Air Force base outside Anchorage, Alaska.

In a scene contrary to the Ukrainian president's first trip to the White House in February, Trump greeted Zelensky warmly at the door to the West Wing, and they engaged in banter and questions from the press before a closed-door meeting.

European leaders joined them about 90 minutes later for a "family photo."

Meanwhile, the federal crackdown on crime continues, with the White House saying 69 people were arrested overnight. Amid the federal effort, D.C. restaurants have taken a hit, though Trump, in answering a media question, said "the restaurants the last two days were busier than they’ve been in a long time," thanks to added security in the District.
