The report said Netanyahu traveled to the U.S. at Trump's invitation and plans to discuss Israel's security, the current pause in fighting with Iran and efforts to expand regional peace. Zelenskyy's visit comes as U.S. and Ukrainian officials continue discussing proposals aimed at ending Russia's war in Ukraine.

According to CNBC, both leaders hope to strengthen support from Trump as conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe remain unresolved. The report noted that recent fighting overlapped when Ukraine struck an Iranian commercial vessel that Kyiv said was transporting military supplies to Russia.

Graham's funeral will take place Tuesday at the Washington National Cathedral before a second service in South Carolina. Trump is expected to deliver remarks honoring the late senator's public service.
