Trump will not oppose the sending of European troops to Ukraine

“If they want to do this, great. I’m totally in favor. If they want to do that, I think it would be good,” Trump told reporters, according to information from CNN. The president mentioned that France and the United Kingdom showed interest in the idea, but stressed that the United States would not participate directly “because we are far away,” he said. Over the weekend, British prime minister Keir Stmerer said in an article that his country was “ready and willing” to send troops to the Ukrainian territory if necessary, where they would guarantee peace in the long run.

The theme arises amid negotiations for the end of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with meetings such as Tuesday involving American and Russian authorities in Saudi Arabia. According to Trump, the meeting was “very good” and Russia “wants to do something” to solve the situation.

“They want to stop wild barbarism,” said the president. “Both Russia and Ukraine are losing thousands and thousands of soldiers, and many people have died.”

Asked about the possibility of removing all US troops from Europe if there was a peace agreement, Trump clarified that the issue was not raised in recent conversations.

“No one asked me to do that, so I don’t think we would need it. I wouldn’t like to do that. But this issue never really came up,” he said.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday that after more than four hours of discussion, United States and Russia reached four basic principles to continue with negotiations. Among them is the formation of a high -level team to “negotiate and work for the end of the conflict in Ukraine” so that it is “acceptable to all parties involved.”
