Watch live: Pres. Trump meets with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House

From USA TODAY.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to return to the White House on Oct. 17 as President Donald Trump considers whether to arm Kyiv with Tomahawk missiles capable of striking targets deep inside Russian territory.

Trump earlier this week seemed receptive to giving Ukraine the long-range missiles, but in an abrupt turnabout on Oct. 16 he expressed hesitation about Zelenskyy’s request.

"We need Tomahawks for the United States of America, too," Trump said on Oct. 16. "We have a lot of them, but we need them. We can’t deplete for our country."
