President Donald Trump is expected to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House this week, NBC News reported Monday.

The meeting was scheduled after the two leaders spoke on the phone twice over the weekend and discussed the possibility of the United States approving the transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, according to NBC.

Trump said Monday he was considering sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine as “another step of aggression” in a bid to pressure Russia to end the war against its neighbor.

Zelensky last met with Trump at the White House in August, shortly after the US president met with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska.

Ukraine’s use of Tomahawks – subsonic cruise missiles capable of striking targets 1,000 miles away – would give the country the opportunity to step up its counterattacks against Russia.

The war between Ukraine and Russia has raged since the Russian invasion in 2022.

Reuters reported last week that a Kremlin spokesperson said Russian leaders were waiting to hear details of a supply deal with Tomahawk. The missiles reportedly cost an average of $1.3 million each.

Trump was traveling to the Middle East on Monday.

He first visited Israel, then flew to Egypt as negotiations on a peace deal for Gaza are being finalized.
