Trump also noted there was a "reasonable chance" for progress following his recent meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

At the same time, Zelensky thanked Trump for his help regarding the meeting and for the letter First Lady Melania Trump sent to Putin about abducted children.

How so? He can't run again. Or are you going to organize an "Impeach Trump" movement together with the Democrats?

FYI, Trump was the first President to send lethal military aid and US troops to train the Ukrainians.

What role would US military personnel be performing?

I would add that US troops were in the Caucasus in Georgia helping to train the Georgian army a month ago.

You guys don't even know WTF is going on.

Huge difference between that and a country that has substantial areas that have been an active combat zone for over three years.

“terrorists drove two trucks filled with explosives into buildings housing a multinational peacekeeping force, killing 241 U.S. service members and 58 French military and civilian personnel in Beirut.”

“’The giant, four-story building that I expected to see was so demolished that it seemed as if it had just disappeared. Through the smoke and the air filled with dust, I could see the rubble and, worst of all, the pieces of bodies strewn throughout the area’”

“While the rescue and recovery operations were underway, the peacekeeping force was under sporadic attack from snipers and artillery fire.’

“The Marines’ withdrawal from Lebanon was completed Feb. 26, 1984. The British, French and Italian forces making up the rest of the peacekeeping force withdrew about the same time.”

He is not considering any such thing. He mentioned the possibility of American troops in Ukraine (like we have in Germany today, for example) AFTER the war is over as a deterrent to military attacks.

I do not think Trump will put US troops in.

“Trump is considering sending US troops in.. took”

Trump is in the middle of negotiations. He very carefully danced around without answering this question. He knows that Americans do not want a single American soldier going to Ukraine.

“On March 13, leaders of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) regional bloc signaled the end of its peacekeeping mandate in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) following the killing of more than a dozen peacekeepers by M23 rebels in January.”
