WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said late on Tuesday his meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were positive.

Netanyahu and Zelenskyy were in Washington to attend a memorial service for ​Sen. Lindsey Graham, who died earlier this month and was an influential advocate for Israel and Ukraine.

In separate short posts on Truth Social, Trump said he discussed various topics with them, without giving specifics.

"Had a very good meeting! Obviously, many important subjects were discussed," Trump wrote on meeting Netanyahu.

The United States and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28. ⁠Tehran responded with its own strikes on Israel and Gulf states that host U.S. bases.

The meeting also came as the Gaza ceasefire has been repeatedly violated since it began in October.

Netanyahu described the meeting as "excellent."

Zelenskyy also met Trump and they discussed plans for Ukraine to produce Patriot missile interceptors and reviving peace talks with Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

"Many things were discussed. The meeting went very well," Trump wrote. Zelenskyy also cast it as a "good meeting."
