NEW YORK: Wall Street ended higher on Friday after a choppy trading session, with Dell Technologies dipping and other tech stocks climbing after a meeting between the US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy ended in disaster.

Zelenskiy and Trump traded verbal blows at the White House before the world's media. This created fresh uncertainty over Ukraine's war with Russia for investors already worried about sticky US inflation and a tepid economy.
