US EditionTrump tells Zelenskyy to give up Ukrainian land as White House meeting descends into 'shouting match'
- On Friday, US President Donald Trump urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House to accept Russia's terms and surrender the entire eastern Donbas region.
- Putin's messaging and Trump's deal-first approach pushed negotiations toward Moscow's demands, as Russian President Vladimir Putin told Trump his forces held `the strategic initiative` and Kremlin and European leaders vied for Trump's ear.

- After the meeting, Trump endorsed freezing the current front lines, a position Ukraine helped secure, and called for a ceasefire along the front line, which Zelensky publicly accepted.
- A possible Trump-Putin summit in the coming weeks, tentatively in Budapest, alarms many EU leaders as they deliberate using Russia's frozen assets as a reparation loan and stronger sanctions.
