US President Donald Trump did not rule out sending US troops into Ukraine to help maintain a potential peace deal, APA reports citing CNN.
“We’ll let you know that, maybe later today,” Trump said.
His openness to allowing American troops onto the ground in Ukraine could make for a major shift, as Ukraine considers security guarantees to be critical for any eventual peace deal with Russia.
Trump said Europe would take the lead in securing the peace but that the US would be involved.
“They are first line of defense, because they’re there, Europe. But we’re going to help them out. Also, we’ll be involved,” he said.
Trump said if there were a peace deal, it would hold.
“I think if we can get to peace, it’s going to work. I have no doubt about it,” he said.
