In an interview with the Daily Caller, Trump said a three-way meeting between the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia “will happen,” though a direct summit between Putin and Zelenskyy remains unlikely.

He likened the conflict to “two kids fighting,” reiterated that U.S. troops will not be deployed, but left the door open to providing air support.

Trump emphasized that NATO should cover the costs of Ukraine’s weapons and stressed that security guarantees are essential to ending the war.
