Here is the full post on truthsocial: “President Zelenskyy and I just had a News Conference with the Fake News. It went very well. Everybody is looking for a solution. Very positive! Trump”, on Truth Social on July 8, 2026 at 8:33 AM EST.

Trump framed the appearance as constructive, saying everyone involved was working toward a resolution. He offered no details on the substance of any talks or the specific issues under discussion. The post came amid continued attention to the Zelenskyy-Trump relationship and Ukraine policy, including recent aid packages and support discussed at the NATO Summit (see newsnow.com).

The reference to a “solution” leaves open what outcome the two leaders are pursuing, though coverage has centered on the war in Ukraine and U.S. support for Kyiv (see newsnow.com). Trump did not say what steps would follow the conference or when further meetings might take place.
