What did President Trump say about Ukraine’s ability to regain lost territory?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. President Trump says Ukraine can win back all territory it lost to Russia. That's a shift from earlier this year when he said Kyiv would have to make concessions to end the war. Trump made the comments after a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Also during the gathering of world leaders, President Trump said he thinks NATO members should shoot down Russian aircraft.
But when the president was asked if the US would honor its NATO commitments and back up NATO allies if they shot down Russian planes, he was more equivocal, saying, quote, Depends on the circumstance, but you know we're very strong towards NATO. The US president put off a question about his so far fruitless discussions about the war in Ukraine with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, asked whether he still trusts Putin. Trump said I'll let you know about a month from now. Mara Lyason, NPR News.
