President Donald Trump has ruled out the deployment of U.S. troops to Ukraine for security guarantees, as part of a peace deal to end Russia’s ongoing war on the country. Air support still remains a possibility.
Following the president’s Monday summit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and key European leaders at the White House to discuss peace initiatives, a direct meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zelensky is now being arranged. A subsequent trilateral meeting involving Trump also planned.
