Zelensky and Netanyahu Attend Washington for Trump’s War Talks

Tuesday is a big day in Washington DC, even by White House standards. The funeral of longtime Republican Senator Lindsay Graham draws Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the capital.

Both leaders will meet separately with President Donald Trump to discuss two distinct conflicts—Ukraine’s war and the tension in Iran. Analysts say the talks could signal new strategic positions for the United States.

BBC’s North America editor Sarah Smith previews the visit, highlighting Lindsey Graham’s unexpected influence on both wars and the high‑stakes nature of these negotiations.
