Trump
rules out US ground troops in Ukraine, says Europe to 'front load' security
Donald
Trump has ruled out the deployment of American troops in Ukraine in his first
interview since yesterday’s White House meeting with Ukrainian president
Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders.
“You have
my assurance, and I’m president,” Trump told Fox News talkshow Fox &
Friends in a phone interview on Tuesday, when pressed on whether US forces
could be sent to defend against another Russian incursion.
The US
president reiterated that Ukraine would not be admitted into Nato under his
watch, but said that Kyiv would still receive security guarantees. These, he
suggested, European allies would “front load”. Trump said France, Germany and
the UK were among the countries considering sending their own troops to bolster
Ukraine’s defences.
