Quote from Trump: "When it comes to security, [Europeans] are willing to put people on the ground. We're willing to help them with things, especially, probably, by air."

Details: Meanwhile, Trump reiterated that US troops will not be sent to Ukraine.

He did not give detailed comments, but White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told journalists that US air support is "an option and a possibility".

"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," she concluded.
