SECURITY: Trump To Speak w/Zelenskyy And Euro Leaders After Ukraine Summit Thurs

The Elysee confirmed that French President Emmanuel Macron, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and ‘several other heads of state’ will speak with President Donald Trump at 08:00 ET 13:00 BST tomorrow, after a meeting of the ‘Coalition of the Willing’ in Paris.

• Trump said alongside Polish President Karol Nawrocki in the Oval Office that roughly 10,000 US soldiers will remain deployed in Poland, adding that number could be increased "if they want".
• Zelenskyy confirmed a short time ago that he discussed a US backstop to security guarantees w/EU counterparts in Copenhagen today: “We have signals from the US of a possible backstop [and] the role of EU membership in this holistic system of security guarantees...”
• Trump reiterated to reporters yesterday that there will be “consequences” for Putin slow-walking a meeting with Zelenskyy. He added: “I had actually a very good meeting with [Putin] a couple of weeks ago. We'll see if anything comes out of it. If it doesn't, we'll take a different stance.”
• It is unlikely Putin's recent concessions on a meeting will be seen by the White House as sufficient progress. See SECURITY: Putin Offers To Meet Zelenskyy And Trump In Moscow
• Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox on Monday that “all options are on the table” for further sanctions on Russia, adding “we’ll be examining those very closely this week.”
• Bessent and White House officials said EU countries need to align with the US on halting Russian oil purchases, but have equivocated on pursuing a similar secondary oil tariff on China to the one imposed on India.
• US Ambassador to NATO, Matthew Whitaker, told Bloomberg yesterday that the US has refrained from imposing secondary sanctions on China because of ongoing trade negotiations.
