WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump has instructed his team to develop a framework of security guarantees that will help ensure lasting peace in Ukraine, White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt said on Tuesday.

Preparations for a possible meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky are in full swing, and both sides have expressed their readiness for talks, she said at a press briefing.

In an interview with Fox News earlier on Tuesday, Trump said the United States would not send troops into Ukraine, but indicated the United States could help in other ways, including by providing air support.

He once again categorically ruled out the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO.

While security guarantees remain a key demand of Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry said it rejected any scenario that would involve the deployment of NATO troops on Ukrainian territory, warning that such a move could trigger an uncontrolled escalation with unpredictable consequences.

On Monday, D. Trump met at the White House with the visiting president of Ukraine and seven European leaders to discuss ending the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

The talks followed a meeting between US and Russian leaders in the US state of Alaska on Friday where progress was reported but no agreement was reached. –0–

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — The U.S. state of Tennessee said Tuesday it was sending about 160 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., after U.S. President Donald Trump said crime and homelessness in the capital were out of control.

The latest developments come about a week after Trump declared a state of emergency in the US capital on August 11 to combat crime and sent about 800 D.C. National Guard troops there.

Over the weekend, Republican governors in West Virginia, Ohio and South Carolina pledged to send National Guard troops to the nation's capital. Mississippi and Louisiana made similar announcements on Monday.

Troops from the Republican-led state of Tennessee are expected to arrive by the end of this week, bringing the total number of National Guard troops in D.C. to about 2,000 by then.

The moves have drawn criticism from Democrats. Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, also chair of the Democratic Governors Association, on Tuesday called on her colleagues “in Ohio, West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi and every other state to resist the temptation to use their troops to further a dangerous, politically motivated agenda.”

She said deploying National Guard troops to another jurisdiction “without the request and consent of that state’s governor — or, in this case, local Washington, D.C., officials — undermines the mission of the National Guard, wastes resources needed for real emergencies, and, perhaps worst of all, deepens the divisions that already threaten our United States.” –0–

N. Modi noted that India and China are ancient civilizations with a long history of friendly exchanges, and the meeting of the leaders of the two countries in Kazan, Russia, in October 2024 became a turning point in improving and developing bilateral relations.

The Indian Prime Minister noted that India and China are partners, not rivals, face the common task of achieving accelerated development and should enhance exchanges, improve mutual understanding and expand cooperation, which will allow the world to experience the huge potential and bright prospects of India-China cooperation.

He pointed out that the advent of the "Asian century" is also inextricably linked with Indian-Chinese cooperation, and the two countries need to join efforts for the benefit of global development and the well-being of all mankind.

Wang Yi noted that bilateral relations have experienced ups and downs, and the lessons learned from these should be remembered. According to him, regardless of the current situation, the parties should maintain the correct positioning of each other as partners, not as rivals, adhere to the principle of properly managing differences, so that border disputes do not affect the overall situation in interstate relations.

Wang Yi noted that in the current international situation, the strategic significance of China-India relations has become increasingly obvious, and the strategic value of China-India cooperation has become increasingly visible.

Wang Yi pointed out that both sides should follow the strategic guidance of their leaders and adhere to the approach of handling bilateral relations and boundary issues in two parallel tracks, mutually promoting each other and forming a positive cycle.

The Chinese Foreign Minister added that the two sides should strengthen mutual trust through dialogue and communication, expand exchanges and cooperation, and jointly accumulate consensus, clearly define directions and set goals in areas such as boundary management, demarcation negotiations and cross-border exchanges, so as to properly handle specific issues, achieve greater positive progress and continuously create favorable conditions for the improvement and development of bilateral relations.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — The United States will help ensure Ukraine's security after its conflict with Russia ends, but there will be no American troops in Ukraine, U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday.

“I can assure you of that,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News the day after the White House summit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders.

On Monday, during meetings at the White House, D. Trump noted that the United States would be “involved” in the issue of security guarantees for Ukraine after the end of the conflict, but did not provide details. On Tuesday morning, in an interview on the Fox program

“When it comes to security, they are ready to send their people /to Ukraine/,” D. Trump said, referring to European countries.

“We are ready to help them, especially, probably, from the air, because no one has the capabilities that we do,” the US president added.

“The issue of security guarantees for Ukraine and the possible participation of the United States in ensuring them have become a stumbling block in the negotiations that D. Trump is conducting in an attempt to achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine,” the Washington Post reported on the development of events.

“European leaders are encouraged by the fact that D. Trump appears to be demonstrating a willingness for the United States to participate in the peacekeeping process in Ukraine, but this could complicate negotiations with Russia, which has long opposed the expansion of military support for Ukraine from its allies,” the publication noted.

It is rare for the White House to host such a large delegation of foreign dignitaries as happened on Monday, when V. Zelensky and European leaders arrived with D. Trump to discuss the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

The main topics of the White House meetings were security guarantees for Ukraine and a possible trilateral meeting between Russia, Ukraine and the United States. However, disagreements remain on a number of key issues, including the need for a ceasefire before further negotiations.

The talks in Washington came just three days after the US and Russian presidents met in the US state of Alaska, where some progress was reported but no agreement was announced. –0–
