In a series of high-stakes discussions hosted by President Trump, key leaders, including NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, explored potential security guarantees for Ukraine. Rutte emphasized that while an Article 5-like agreement was under consideration, NATO membership was not on the table. Trump indicated that the U.S. might coordinate security efforts and hinted at the possibility of providing military support, though he ruled out deploying American troops on the ground. Zelenskyy expressed his awareness of the complexities surrounding security promises, urging rapid action as he seeks substantial military aid from the U.S. amidst ongoing negotiations, including a proposed $100 billion arms deal. The discussions reflect a transatlantic effort to stabilize Ukraine amidst ongoing conflict, with European partners encouraged to share the burden of security provisions.
