What role does Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth want European countries to play in Ukraine's post-war reconstruction?
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has called for European nations to be prepared to send their own troops to help Ukraine rebuild after the war, explicitly stating that the US will not take on this responsibility. This position reflects a shift in US policy regarding military involvement in Ukraine's reconstruction efforts. In response to Hegseth's comments, the UK's Prime Minister has already expressed willingness to contribute, indicating that British military forces would be ready to put boots on the ground. This exchange suggests growing expectations for European nations to take greater responsibility for security and rebuilding efforts in Ukraine as the US repositions its commitments.
