U.S. President, Donald Trump reaffirmed America’s commitment to support Ukraine but said specific security guarantees have not yet been discussed.
Trump noted that potential security guarantees remain a major obstacle to ending Russia’s war in Ukraine.
He also revealed that during his August 15 meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, both leaders discussed the possibility of reducing their countries’ nuclear arsenals once the Ukraine crisis is resolved.
“We would like to denuclearize. It’s too much power, and we talked about that also. That’s part of it, but we have to get the war over with,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
When asked why Putin seems unwilling to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Trump responded: “Because he doesn’t like him.”
