President Biden is scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting with President Zelensky of Ukraine, amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia. This meeting, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of D-Day, holds significant symbolism. The last face-to-face discussion between the two leaders took place in December, with Ukraine facing funding delays in Congress since then. Zelensky aims to secure U.S. support for defense weapons to shift from defensive to offensive strategies in the conflict.
The White House draws parallels between Biden's upcoming remarks and Reagan's historic speech at Pointe du Hoc, emphasizing the importance of protecting peace and democracy. Biden's stance contrasts with Trump's and Putin's approaches, with Biden labeling Putin as a dictator and a threat to Europe.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump's vice presidential selection process has garnered attention, with potential picks undergoing vetting. Trump plans to announce his choice during the convention, a departure from the norm. Speculation surrounds names like Doug Burgum, Marco Rubio, and Tim Scott, as Trump aims to broaden his appeal and attract independent and moderate voters.
