The Dow Jones Industrial Average relinquished early gains, dipping into negative territory as markets reacted to evolving Russia-Ukraine diplomacy. President TRUMP confirmed efforts to arrange a Zelenskyy-Putin meeting, potentially including U.S. participation, with Budapest under consideration as a venue. The administration simultaneously pledged aerial support for Ukraine while ruling out ground troop deployment.
