As Lev Parnas said, this was definitely intended to be a trap--harder if Europeans there as well. I hope Macron is there.
European leaders to join Ukraines Zelenskyy for White House meeting with Trump

The remarkable show of solidarity with leaders from France, Britain and Germany saying they would be at Zelenskyys side at the White House on Monday was an apparent effort to ensure the meeting goes better than the last one in February, when Trump berated Zelenskyy in a heated Oval Office encounter.
The Europeans are very afraid of the Oval Office scene being repeated and so they want to support Mr. Zelenskyy to the hilt, said retired French Gen. Dominique Trinquand, a former head of Frances military mission at the United Nations.
Its a power struggle and a position of strength that might work with Trump, he said.
The European leaders physical presence to demonstrate their support for Ukraine could potentially help ease concerns in Kyiv and in other European capitals that Ukraine risks being railroaded into a peace deal that Trump says he wants to broker with Russia.
