Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived at the White House on Friday with a special gift for Donald Trump.

The present, Ukraine’s most prestigious sports honour, was Oleksandr Usyk’s undisputed heavyweight world championship belt, which Usyk won after defeating Tyson Fury. The gesture appeared to be Zelensky's attempt to mend relations with Trump before a highly charged and contentious meeting between the two leaders, along with Senator JD Vance.
