Donald Trump met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida on December 28. Trump stated that an agreement to end the war in Ukraine was nearing completion. The meeting's location, Mar-a-Lago instead of the White House, has drawn attention, with explanations suggesting it occurred during Trump's holiday season stay in Florida, a time when presidents sometimes conduct diplomacy remotely. Trump also reportedly spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
