Trump says he doesn't see need for U.S. security guarantees to end Ukraine-Russia war
Trump “said that striking a deal with Russia would be the "difficult part," but that adding security is the easy part.
"I have confidence that if we make a deal, it's going to hold," Trump told reporters in a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
As part of the broader effort, Trump said Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelenskyy will come to Washington, D.C., on Friday to sign
a critical minerals deal. Trump indicated that the deal would serve as a security "backstop."
"I don't think anybody's going to play around if we're there with a lot of workers," Trump said.
… [Meanwhile] Both Starmer and Macron used a mix of praise and flattery to woo the U.S. president. …”
