Trump and Zelenskyy had a contentious meeting at the White House earlier in February. Tension was created by that meeting and worries about pressure on Ukraine were raised. More balance and support for Ukraine are anticipated this time around with the presence of European leaders.

Trump has stated that he is interested in helping Russia and Ukraine reach a peace agreement. European nations are concerned though that this process might overlook Ukraines needs. To ensure that Europes voice is heard clearly key European leaders will attend the meeting.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are among the leaders in attendance. Their visit to the White House demonstrates Europes desire to actively participate in any deal pertaining to Ukraine. It is also noteworthy that Zelenskyy was left out of Trumps recent meeting with Putin which caused anxiety in Europe and Ukraine. They are afraid of the US possibly attempt to reach a peace agreement with Russia without Ukraines full participation.

Now that European leaders have united the objective is to prevent Ukraine from being placed in a vulnerable position. This cooperative effort serves as a reminder to Russia and Trump that any decision regarding Ukraine must be made collaboratively with Ukraines and Europes full support. As long as everyone is treated equally and fairly this meeting has the potential to be a significant step toward peace.
