Trump to host Zelensky today, changing tune after Putin call

# The American president Donald Trump will welcome his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky to the White House later today for a meeting Ukraine had hoped would result in more military support. Zelensky has been pushing for Tomahawk missiles from the US, but during a two-hour call between Trump and Vladimir Putin yesterday, the Russian president said supplying long-range missiles to Ukraine would harm the peace process and damage relations between the two countries. Trump’s tone after his call with Putin has called the likelihood of immediate military support into question.
