EU rejects Trump's Russia security deal for Europe
European leaders have rejected President Donald Trump's proposal for a broad US-Russia security deal covering all of Europe, insisting they must be included in any agreement. The proposal sparked immediate opposition from EU, Polish, and Ukrainian officials. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Europe's security architecture already exists and Russia has no veto over it, while Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski called any deal made without Europeans "impossible." Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stressed the focus should be on defending against Russia, not negotiating spheres of influence. The dispute comes ahead of renewed Ukraine-Russia talks in Abu Dhabi next week, with US envoy Jared Kushner working on a wider European security framework. European governments remain wary of any settlement rewarding Russian aggression or undermining NATO.
