Trump: Europe and NATO Should Handle Ukraine, 'Not Us'

During his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Donald Trump stated that Europe and NATO should take responsibility for dealing with the crisis in Ukraine, not the United States. He argued that the US has no direct interest in the Ukrainian crisis due to the geographical distance and that the money spent does not benefit America. Despite his statements, Trump announced he would meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Davos. However, the Ukrainian presidency denied Zelenskyy's presence in Davos, suggesting a misunderstanding on Trump's part.
