Trump changed his mind about sending troops to Ukraine

Donald Trump has finally declared that he will not send US troops to Ukraine as part of security guarantees aimed at securing a lasting peace agreement between Kiev and Moscow.

This about-face comes a day after an important White House meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky and several European leaders, at which Trump had shown himself open to the idea of a military deployment on the ground.

A few hours after this important meeting, Donald Trump responded in a telephone interview with Fox News to a question about what guarantees he could offer for the future, including that no American soldiers would be sent to defend Ukraine’s border after his administration.

He then simply stated that he gave the assurance and that he was the president, according to CNN.

A White House spokesman responded by pointing out that the United States has many other ways of ensuring Ukraine’s protection, without having to send ground troops.
