White House says US to help coordinate security guarantees for Ukraine
The White House said on Tuesday, August 19, that the United States can assist in the coordination of security guarantees for Ukraine and that President Donald Trump has directed his national security team to work with Europe.
"The President has definitively stated US boots will not be on the ground in Ukraine, but we can certainly help in the coordination and perhaps provide other means of security guarantees to our European allies," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
Earlier on Tuesday, Trump ruled out placing American soldiers in Ukraine and gave no specifics about the security guarantees he has previously said Washington could offer Kyiv under any post-war settlement.
The White House said air support was an option being looked at.
