The leaders of Europe ganged up on President Donald Trump to drill into his head how critically important it is to stand by Ukraine at Monday's meeting, CNN global affairs analyst Kimberly Dozier told anchor Brianna Keilar.

The meeting, which was marked by some embarrassing slip-ups for the president, comes a few days after Trump welcomed Russia's Vladimir Putin to a summit in Alaska, which ended with no clear progress toward a peace deal and the president seemingly persuaded against some of the hawkishness he had shown toward Russia over the past few weeks.

At President Donald Trump's meeting with European leaders on Monday, he was caught by reporters on a hot microphone making a boldly optimistic claim about Russia's Vladimir Putin regarding the invasion of Ukraine.

The comment came as European leaders seek to gently nudge the president toward working in the interest of the NATO alliance and make stronger commitments on behalf of the Ukrainians, as the Russians continue to throw everything they can at forcing submission.

A CNN reporter appeared taken aback by President Donald Trump's eyebrow-raising remarks Monday afternoon during a summit with European leaders, in which he made remarks about a possible ceasefire in Ukraine, then shifted to a peace agreement.

Trump met with a delegation of European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Monday to discuss ending Russia’s ongoing invasion. The summit comes after Trump’s recent face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, where discussions ended with no peace deal. European leaders included those from Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Finland, the European Commission, and NATO.

President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met in the White House on Monday, where the conversation was more subdued than their previous Oval Office encounter.

CNN's Kristen Holmes said that it appeared to her as if both leaders were trying to be "on their best behavior."

In his high-stakes meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, President Donald Trump spent a considerable amount of time during the less than 30-minute meeting to air his grievances with the media.

Trump’s complaints about the press were sparked by a softball question from Brian Glenn, a reporter for the far-right news outlet Real America’s Voice, and boyfriend to MAGA lawmaker Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

CNN's Brianna Keilar commented on the chummy interactions between President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky.

The Ukrainian president met Monday afternoon with Trump in the Oval Office, and Keilar noted that the pair seemed to get along better than their previous White House meeting in February.

President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday that, following his meeting with eight European leaders —including Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky — he plans to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin. As one CNN commentator quipped, the arrangement made Trump appear as if he were seeking Putin’s approval.

CNN host Boris Sanchez brought the matter up to Kimberly Dozier, a global affairs analyst who previously reported on intelligence and counterterrorism for The Associated Press.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy mocked Real America's Voice reporter Brian Glenn for wearing the "same suit" as he wore during the foreign leader's last Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump.

During a meeting at the White House on Monday, Glenn noted that Zelenskyy looked "fabulous" because he was wearing a jacket instead of military garb. Earlier this year, Glenn had questioned Zelenskyy in the Oval Office.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has declined to oppose a Texas gerrymandering effort that could maintain Republicans' control of Congress. Still, he has insisted that a similar move by Democrats in California was an "illegal power grab."

"Gavin Newsom's latest attempt to disenfranchise millions of California voters was written in the dark of night by the DCCC—more than 2,700 miles away from Sacramento in Washington," Johnson wrote in a Monday post on X. "This is a slap in the face to Californians who overwhelmingly support the California Citizens Redistricting Commission."

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough was gobsmacked by comments made on television by an official tapped by Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate President Donald Trump's political rivals.

Department of Justice special attorney Ed Martin confirmed he was overseeing probes of Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and New York Attorney General Letitia James for alleged mortgage fraud, and the "Morning Joe" host was stunned by the official's conduct during an interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo.

MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire flagged some new reporting that could be an ominous sign for President Donald Trump's meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The last time Zelensky met with Trump at the White House, back in February, the president and Vice President JD Vance bashed him for wearing his standard military-style clothing instead of a suit. The "Morning Joe" co-host noted that administration officials had pushed him to dress more formally when the two meet again on Monday.

In the wake of President Donald Trump's summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin in Alaska, Kremlin propagandists are going wild with a new video intended to humiliate Trump, The Daily Beast reported on Monday.

In the video, broadcast by the Russian propaganda network RT, Russian troops in Ukraine can be seen "cruising into battle in a captured American M113 APC, which they described as a 'trophy,' while flying both the U.S. and Russian flags in tandem."

A former federal prosecutor mocked one of President Donald Trump's favorite attorneys on Sunday because of the way he's handled a pair of high-profile cases.

Glenn Kirchner, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney, appeared on "The Legal Breakdown" with progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen to discuss how Ed Martin, Trump's pardon attorney and leader of the Weaponization of Government task force, has handed his mortgage fraud investigation into Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and New York Attorney GeneralLetitia James.
