President Donald Trump made a significant statement concerning the future of American military involvement in the war in Ukraine. The President confirmed that the United States would indeed have a role in helping to defend Ukraine, offering support to the country as it continues its war with Russia. However, a very important part of his announcement was the specific limit he put on that support.
Trump was very clear in his promise that no American ground troops would be sent to Ukraine. According to the Washington Post, the President said, “When it comes to security, they’re willing to put people on the ground. We’re willing to help them with things, especially probably … by air because there’s nobody that has the kind of stuff we have.”
