Trump did not immediately rule out sending US troops to Ukraine to maintain a possible peace.
Trump said the issue would be discussed with other European leaders today and indicated that more information on the topic could be available soon.
While he has said that European nations will take the lead in any security guarantees, his apparent openness to allowing US troops in — “There will be a lot of help there,” he said — is a new development.
Trump was elected in part on a promise not to commit US troops to foreign conflicts, and even some members of his own administration are advocating for a significantly reduced US role in the war in Ukraine.
Trump made no commitments in his remarks, but the fact that he hasn't taken the option off the table could signal a shift in his approach to ending the war. (CNN)
