As Trump and the leaders of European countries finished their family photo, the group was preparing to begin the summit in earnest.

Ahead of the multilateral meeting, President Donald Trump was caught on a hot mic saying that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to reach a resolution to the war for him. CNN’s chief national affairs correspondent Jeff Zeleny reports.

Fiona Hill, who served as a Russia analyst on the National Security Council during Donald Trump ’s first term in office, said Sunday on CBS that Vladimir Putin’s decision to push baseless claims against mail-in voting during his summit with the U.S. president is a glaring “manipulation” tactic.

President Trump was joined in the Oval Office on Monday by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders, just days after a face-to-face summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday, alongside several European allies. Trump has urged Zelenskyy to accept a land swap deal with Russia after meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday.

In the first lady’s “peace letter” to Putin, she told the Russian president that “it is time” to protect children and future generations worldwide.

President Trump blasted Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy, of Connecticut, as a "lightweight," calling the lawmaker "unattractive" and "stupid," after he criticized the Trump-Putin summit.
