Trump commends Zelensky ahead of talks

Ukrainian President Zelensky will be hoping to win some kind of security guarantees for his country that would underpin any peace deal that may be negotiated. Asked about these on Thursday, Trump only said he was "open to many things" but he wanted to get Russia and Ukraine to agree a deal before deciding what measures might be put in place to enforce it.
