NATO and Europe

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he held the first formal U.S. meeting on Ukraine’s reconstruction with senior Trump‑administration officials to review a roughly 20‑point framework that was pared down from an initial 28‑point proposal. The U.S. push — led by envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and negotiated in multiple rounds from Geneva and Miami to Abu Dhabi and Moscow — has revised but not resolved contentious items including territorial lines, NATO membership and troop‑caps, while European allies pushed back, Russia expressed mixed signals, and fighting continued as talks proceeded.
