The meeting could have major geopolitical implications: On Wednesday, Trump told European leaders he would try to secure a ceasefire in Ukraine.

Donald Trump has said he wants to bypass a ceasefire in Ukraine to move directly to a permanent peace agreement after his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

If talks go well, Trump said that could set up a subsequent three-way summit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy - who was not invited to Friday’s meeting.
