P resident Donald Trump is scheduled on Monday to welcome Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the White House for a high-stakes meeting as the U.S. president pushes for a deal to end Moscow's war on its neighbor. A host of European leaders will join the pair.

President Donald Trump lashed out at the criticism he’s faced for his Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week, which failed to result in a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin got everything he could have hoped for in Alaska. President Donald Trump got very little — judging by his own pre-summit metrics.
