Von der Leyen Says Trump Ready to Join NATO-Style Guarantees for Ukraine
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said former U.S. President Donald Trump is willing to participate in NATO-style security guarantees for Ukraine. She described the prospective commitment as “Article 5-like,” referring to the North Atlantic Treaty’s collective-defence clause. Von der Leyen argued that robust, legally binding assurances are essential to deter future aggression, adding that her goal is to turn Ukraine into a “steel porcupine, indigestible for potential invaders.” She welcomed Trump’s readiness to “contribute” to such arrangements and urged partners to finalize a framework of guarantees for President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
