Trump Urges European Troops for Ukraine Ceasefire Monitoring
President-elect Trump proposed that European troops oversee a potential Ukraine ceasefire, a suggestion discussed among European officials but rejected by Poland. This proposal, coupled with his desire for a reduced U.S. role and opposition to Ukraine’s NATO membership, reflects a strategy to leverage European involvement and pressure from China to end the conflict. Trump intends to maintain Ukrainian military support while simultaneously urging Moscow to negotiate. He also criticized the Biden administration’s approach to the conflict, particularly long-range strikes within Russia.
