US demands a seat for Europe at Ukraine peace talks
Donald Trump’s envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff will press Russia to let Europe join future negotiations over the continent's security.
The United States is urging Europe to participate in upcoming Ukraine peace talks, as envoys from President Donald Trump's administration are urging Russia to allow European nations to join the negotiations. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, both key figures in the Trump administration, will make the case for European representation at the talks during a trilateral discussion with Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.
The U.S. officials see the need for Europe to have a direct role in future talks and hope to secure Europe's participation by the end of the current meeting. The European Union and its institutions will have to decide the matter promptly, given the potential urgency of the situation.
