Ukraine's Zelenskyy set to meet Trump as Iran and Ukraine wars converge
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to meet United States President Donald Trump in the White House on Tuesday, a meeting that could coincide with the introduction of tough new sanctions on Russia. Zelenskyy, who will attend the funeral of US Senator Lindsey Graham, is also scheduled to meet with the Senate on Tuesday evening. By attacking Iranian ships, Kyiv is not only doing itself a favour but also attacking Washington's 'enemy number one', which will please the US, former US ambassador William Courtney told Al Jazeera. Trump sought to add sanctions on Iran to the same bill. Zelenskyy told Trump ally Laura Loomer last week that he thinks the move is a 'great idea.'
