Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's five-year term as president was due to end in May 2024, but elections have been suspended in Ukraine since martial law was declared after Russia's invasion.
Speaking to reporters after Trump's comments, Zelenskyy said he was "ready for the elections" and he would ask for proposals to be drawn up which could change the law.
It comes as Trump criticised European leaders as "weak" and suggested the US could scale back support for Ukraine.
