Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are both travelling to Washington DC, where each will hold separate talks with President Donald Trump at the White House on the wars in Ukraine and Iran respectively. Their visits coincide with the funeral of veteran Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who is credited with having had significant influence over both conflicts.

The BBC's North America editor, Sarah Smith, previews the day's events, describing it as an unusually busy one for Washington even by White House standards. Zelensky and Netanyahu's meetings with Trump are expected to focus on developments in their respective conflicts, though further detail on the substance of the talks was not given in this preview.
