The meeting between the two men at Trump Tower in Manhattan was their first in-person encounter since 2019.
Mr Zelensky said he was talking with both Trump and his Democratic rival in the Nov 5 election, Vice-President Kamala Harris, because Ukraine needed strong US support in its continuing war with Russia.
Trump praised Mr Zelensky, but said he also had a solid relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"We have a very good relationship (with Mr Zelensky), and I also have a very good relationship, as you know, with President Putin," Trump told reporters.
"And I think if we win, I think we're going to get it resolved very quickly," he added.
Mr Zelensky has used his US visit to promote his "victory plan", which a US official described as a repackaged request for more weapons and a lifting of restrictions on the use of long-range missiles.
The plan presupposes the ultimate defeat of Russia in the war, the official said. Some officials see the aim as unrealistic.
When asked on Sept 26 by a reporter if Ukraine should hand over some of the Ukrainian land Russia has captured to end the war - a non-starter for Kyiv - Trump replied: "We'll see what happens."

She empties the last drawer and, between stray baubles, there's the cookie tin, the one hunted down from some narrow shop in Liverpool because it didn't ship here.
Gift Of The Magi
Let's say you never intended to use Magi. Let's say you know about all the scandals: the accusations of stolen data, the EU lawsuits, the CEO's abhorrent behaviour. Let's say you don't even believe the outlandish social media claims that the app is magical, like actual magic. You know it's not possible it reads your mind, plumbs your soul, knows your heart's desires. You're not so gullible.
