‘America can’t be the guarantor forever’: Trump officials visit Europe, want allies to shoulder defence burdens
Washington gave Kyiv tens of billions of dollars in military assistance under president Joe Biden, but Trump’s administration has yet to provide additional aid despite several billion dollars in remaining authority carrying over from his predecessor’s time in office. Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth will meanwhile visit the headquarters of two US military commands in Germany before attending a meeting of NATO defense ministers and a gathering of Ukraine’s international supporters in Belgium, then travel to Poland for talks with its leaders.
At the meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group – which will be chaired by the UK instead of the United States for the first time – Hegseth “will reiterate President Trump’s commitment for a diplomatic end to the war in Ukraine as quickly as possible,” according to the Pentagon. His comments triggered fears in Ukraine and elsewhere in Europe about the future of US aid, and Kyiv’s ability to withstand Russian attacks in the absence of further American support.
