The conversation largely revolved around a call made the previous day with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"We are very much on track," Trump stated, signaling that diplomatic efforts are proceeding as planned. Trump also announced that he would be asking U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Michael Waltz to provide a detailed account of the specific points discussed during the call with Zelenskyy.
