President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky say they are making progress toward peace in Ukraine.

The two leaders met on Sunday at Mar-a-Lago, where the president has been spending the holidays.

Meanwhile, Russian attacks continued over the weekend and key issues remain unresolved.

NPR White House correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben is here to give us the latest on the negotiations.

Good morning, Danielle.

Good morning, Michelle.

So what was your takeaway from this meeting?

Is a peace deal coming?

And what about President Trump?

And what comes next?

That is NPR's Daniel Kurtzleben.

Daniel, thank you.

Thank you.

There's a lot left to do on President Trump's 20-point plan to end the war in Gaza.

Yeah, he still needs to appoint what he's calling a board of peace and get an international force up and running.

And there are still pretty regular and fatal attacks in Gaza.

But Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting Trump in Florida today and trying to get him focused on some other things like Iran and its proxies.

And Paris Michelle Kellerman is with us now from Jerusalem to talk us through Netanyahu's pitch to Trump today.
