Trump officials travel to Europe for security discussions on Ukraine

Top officials from the Trump administration are traveling to Europe this week for security discussions, focusing on U.S. commitments to Ukraine. This follows President Trump's "America First" stance, which questions U.S. security roles in Europe. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio will attend the Munich Security Conference, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will meet NATO defense ministers and Ukraine's supporters in Belgium. This marks Vance's and Hegseth's first international trips in their new roles. Hegseth will discuss increasing European defense spending and leadership. He will also emphasize Trump's desire for a diplomatic resolution to the Ukraine conflict, amid concerns about U.S. support for Kyiv.
