Finally, there's a nuclear plant in southeastern Ukraine that Russia took control of early in this conflict.
The fate of that plant has been a big sticking point, and it was unclear yesterday what progress Trump and Zelensky made.
Well, Trump said he would talk to Putin after this meeting, but we haven't heard more from the White House about any type of conversation.
Beyond that, he said he and Zelensky would be talking more.
Zelensky said Trump will host a Ukrainian delegation and European leaders in January.

The court heard arguments in November about whether Trump had the power to impose tariffs under a 1977 law called the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, or IEPA.
Trump used that law this year to unilaterally impose tariffs on goods from individual countries from the world over.
If found unlawful, it's possible a large chunk of the president's tariffs would disappear.
Alternatively, the administration may try to use other laws to impose new replacement tariffs.
It's also possible the government would have to refund billions that American businesses and consumers have already paid in tariffs.
Meanwhile, other tariffs the president has imposed on goods like steel and aluminum would remain in place.
