🚨 TRUMP: U.S. SECURITY ROLE IN UKRAINE POSSIBLE 🚨
Aboard Air Force One, Trump said there’s a “possibility” America will join European allies to guarantee Ukraine’s security—WITHOUT NATO membership—if it ends the war with Putin.
Here’s what it means. 🧵👇
2/ Trump is heading to Alaska for his first in-person meeting with Putin since returning to the White House.
His mission: “I’m here to get them at a table.”
Not to negotiate for Ukraine, but to bring both sides together.
3/ When asked if the U.S. would back Ukraine’s security after a peace deal, Trump’s answer:
“Maybe. Not in the form of NATO. There are certain things that aren’t going to happen.”
That’s a huge signal—and it’s rattling both Moscow and Kiev.
4/ Kiev has long demanded Western security guarantees—including NATO membership—to prevent another invasion.
A “Coalition of the Willing”—led by the UK, France, and others—wants “robust and credible” safeguards in any settlement.
Trump just hinted the U.S. could back them.
5/ European leaders say the coalition could:
• Police a ceasefire
• Deploy reassurance forces in safer regions of Ukraine
• Supply weapons, training & logistics
Trump has reportedly offered American military backup for that mission.
6/ Putin has flatly rejected foreign peacekeepers in Ukraine.
Zelensky says Ukraine’s constitution forbids ceding territory.
Trump’s view? You don't make peace with your friends. You also don't make peace without giving things up.
7/ If Trump’s plan moves forward, it could be the biggest U.S.–Russia security deal since the Cold War—linking:
• A Ukraine peace settlement
• A possible nuclear arms control agreement
• U.S. investment in both countries
• A reset in U.S.–Russia relations
8/ The stakes for the Alaska Summit couldn’t be higher.
Zelenskyy will not be in the room.
The question: Can Trump pull off a deal that ends the war—or will Putin prove intransigent yet again?
