Donald Trump's team spent the weekend crowing about a new "Article 5-like" security guarantee for Ukraine. It was the big win for the president stemming from Friday's Anchorage, Alaska summit between Trump and Vladimir Putin: Russia's president was set to allow Ukraine to sign security guarantees with the U.S. and its European neighbors. "We got to an agreement that the United States and other European nations could effectively offer Article 5-like language to cover a security guarantee," Witkoff announced on Sunday. By Tuesday afternoon, it had become completely unclear what that would look like. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reaffirmed to reporters that Trump is not considering any arrangement that would lead to U.S. troops on Ukrainian soil.
