Trump announced his decision
American journalists asked the head of the White House to comment on the prospects for security guarantees for Ukraine.
According to Donald Trump, European countries will play a leading role in this matter:
"They want to have troops on the ground," the US president emphasized, referring to Kyiv's allies in Europe.
What is important to understand is that we are primarily talking about France, Germany, and Great Britain.
"I don't think it will be a problem," Donald Trump said.
Media representatives asked the White House chief of staff if he could give guarantees that there would be no American troops in Ukraine.
"You have my guarantee, and I'm the president... I'm just trying to stop the killing of people," Trump stressed.
