Newsweek Senior Editor-at-Large Josh Hammer says Donald Trump is aiming to “transfer the baton” to the Europeans so they can better patrol “their own backyard”.
European leaders will devise a Ukraine peace plan to put before the United States as a "coalition of the willing" is announced to support the Volodymyr Zelensky-led nation.
"We cannot fund ... a Slavic proxy war in Eastern Ukraine; it is simply not in the American national interest to do so,” Mr Hammer told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
