While President Trump was in Rome today, he met with Uranian President Zelenskyy and the meeting, by all accounts, went pretty well.

Here’s more from taxpayer funded Politico:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump Saturday morning in Rome in the two leaders’ first encounter since their disastrous meeting at the White House in February.

Zelenskyy said it was a “good meeting” and that they “discussed a lot one-on-one.” The White House called it “a very productive discussion.”

Trump and Zelenskyy are in Rome to attend the funeral of Pope Francis. Their meeting took place before the funeral started.

“President Trump and President Zelenskyy met privately today and had a very productive discussion,” said Steven Cheung, White House communications director. “More details about the meeting will follow,” he said.

“Hoping for results on everything we covered,” Zelenskyy said in a social media post after the encounter. “Protecting lives of our people. Full and unconditional ceasefire. Reliable and lasting peace that will prevent another war from breaking out,” he said.

I wonder if this was before or after Trump’s comments on Russia this morning. Either way, this is good to hear.

But Russia is the aggressor and they are the ones that really matter in getting this peace deal.
