Trump says Ukraine may keep independence but see border changes after war

US President Donald Trump said Ukraine will likely remain independent but may have a "somewhat different form" after the war, hinting at possible border changes in a peace agreement. In a CBS 60 Minutes interview, Trump responded to a question about Ukraine's future as a free and independent nation, saying "they'll end up getting Ukraine in somewhat different form." He also repeated claims that former President Joe Biden gave Ukraine $350 billion in aid, while asserting he sold weapons to Europe at full cost. Trump argued the US received nothing in return for its support, dismissing the journalist's point that Americans gained Ukrainian independence. He added the war "never would have happened" had he been president, suggesting outcomes depend on ongoing peace negotiations.
