European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen intends to demonstrate support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his scheduled visit to the White House on Monday.
Responding to a request from President Zelenskyy, von der Leyen announced Sunday she will participate in a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump and other European leaders hosted at the White House. Prior to this, she is set to receive President Zelenskyy in Brussels this afternoon, jointly participating in a video conference of the so-called “Coalition of the Willing.
U.S. media previously reported the potential attendance of several European heads of state and government at President Trump’s meeting with President Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, though specific names were not initially released. U.S. Vice President JD Vance is also anticipated to be present, though the definitive attendee list remains subject to confirmation. Discussions are expected to encompass a range of topics, including the potential for a trilateral summit involving President Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
