President Donald Trump has said there’s “a possibility” the United States will join European powers in offering security guarantees to Ukraine—a longstanding demand from Kyiv, which fears that without such assurances, any peace deal with Russia could prove short-lived.

Trump made the comment to reporters aboard Air Force One on Aug. 15 as he traveled to Alaska for a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
