The White House on Tuesday touted what it called "positive and productive" meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, without detailing the substance of their conversations.

"President Trump has concluded his meetings in the Oval Office with President Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Netanyahu. Both meetings were positive and productive!" White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in an X post.

Neither visit saw the heads of state speak to reporters. Zelensky, for his part, was seen entering the building quietly through a side door, wearing a suit.

Both visits came amid the ongoing memorial services for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who was a strong supporter of both Israel and Ukraine.
