Trump tells Zelensky to give up Crimea and never join NATO ahead of White House talks - CNN

European leaders will join Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington, DC, ahead of his meeting with US President Donald Trump this afternoon. Trump says Zelensky must agree to some of Russia’s conditions — including that Ukraine cede Crimea and agree never to join NATO — for the war to end.

CNN's Alayna Treene reports from the White House, and Kate Bolduan speaks with CNN global affairs commentator Sabrina Singh.
