US troops won't be sent to defend Ukraine: Trump
Orissa POST
|August 20, 2025
US President Donald Trump Tuesday offered his assurances that US troops would not be sent to help defend Ukraine against Russia after seeming to leave open the possibility the day before.
Trump also said in a morning TV interview that Ukraine's hopes of joining NATO and regaining the Crimean Peninsula from Russia are “impossible.”
The Republican president, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders held hours of talks at the White House Monday aimed at bringing an end to Russia's war against Ukraine. While answering questions from journalists, Trump did not rule out sending US troops to participate in a European-led effort to defend Ukraine as part of security guarantees sought by Zelenskyy.
Trump said after his meeting in Alaska last week with Russian President Vladimir Putin that Putin was open to the idea of security guarantees for Ukraine.
But asked Tuesday on Fox News Channel's “Fox & Friends” what assurances he could provide going forward and beyond his term that American troops would not be part of defending Ukraine's border, Trump said, “Well, you have my assurance, and I'm president.”
