Trump says he'll meet with Zelenskyy at Trump Tower Friday morning

Former President Donald Trump said he'll meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Trump Tower on Friday morning, following doubt over whether the two would meet while Zelenskyy is visiting the U.S.
Trump has been highly critical of funding to Ukraine and at times, Zelenskyy — an uneasy relationship that was made even less comfortable after the Ukrainian president announced a visit to an ammunition plant in battleground state Pennsylvania. House Speaker Mike Johnson called on Zelenskyy to fire his ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Markarova, over the Pennsylvania trip and its lack of Republicans present.
Zelenskyy has in turn been critical of Trump, saying the former U.S. president "doesn't really know how to stop the war." Trump frequently says Russia "would have never attacked Ukraine" if he was president.
An American Airlines jet with 60 passengers and four crew members aboard collided with an Army helicopter Wednesday night while coming in for a landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington. The Black Hawk helicopter was carrying a crew of three. Officials said early Thursday that everyone on board both aircraft is believed dead, which would make it the deadliest U.S. air crash in nearly a quarter century.
