Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived to the White House for his meeting with US President Donald Trump.

Ukraine is pushing for the US to provide Tomahawk missiles capable of striking targets nearly 2,000km (1,200 miles) away.

“We’ll be talking about that,” Trump said. “It’s an escalation, but we’ll be talking about it.”

It comes as Trump has agreed to meet Russian President Putin in Hungary, with fresh talks between the leaders’ advisers planned for as early as next week.
