In a recent statement, former US President Donald Trump confirmed that American troops will not be deployed to Ukraine as part of any security guarantees, even if a peace deal is reached. He emphasized that while the US can contribute support, such as air assistance and intelligence, boots on the ground are off the table.
Trump spoke about his recent talks with European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, describing them as “good people” committed to ending the war. He added that the conflict hits closer to home for European nations due to geographic proximity, and that they are “willing to put people on the ground” in support of Ukraine.
