During Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's visit to the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump appeared more focused on brokering a peace deal with Russia than providing additional military support, despite Zelenskiy's appeal for long-range Tomahawk missiles.

• Zelenskiy sought Tomahawk missiles for an offensive against Russian targets, stating, "We don't have Tomahawks, that's why we need Tomahawks."
• Trump urged Ukraine and Russia to "stop the war immediately," suggesting a ceasefire at the current battle lines and indicated an upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
• The meeting prompted European concerns over a deal that could favor Russia, with Michael Carpenter, a senior fellow at International Institute for Strategic Studies, noting an "inclination to impose costs on Russia" was absent.
