Trump shows '4 more years' hat to European leaders after White House meeting
WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump showed one of his "4 more years" hats to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders at the White House following their high-stakes meeting on Aug. 18, according to a photo released by the White House. The photo shows Trump holding the red "4 more years" cap, while Zelenskyy and French President Emmanuel Macron look on, inside a room in the White House that contains Trump's hat collection and other memorabilia. Another hat in the collection says, "Trump 2028." Under the Constitution, Trump is barred from running for a third term. Nevertheless, he's repeatedly toyed openly about the idea of running again in 2028. "Probably not," Trump said in an Aug. 5 interview on CNBC when asked if he will run again in 2028. "I'd like to run. I have the best poll numbers I've ever had." During his Aug. 18 Oval Office meeting with Zelenskyy, Trump remarked to the Ukrainian leader how Zelenskyy has postponed Ukrainian elections amid its war with Russia. "So you say, during the war you can't have elections?" Trump said to Zelenskyy. "So let me just see: Three and a half years from now, so you mean, if we (the United States) happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections." Trump added: "I wonder what the fake news would say of that." Trump previously took Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev to see his hat collection when the Azerbaijan leader was at the White House on Aug. 8, according to video released at the time. "You're not allowed to run," Trump said with a smile as he showed Aliyev a "Trump 2028" hat. "I'm 28 points higher than anybody else. Everybody wants me to run." Trump then pointed to the "Four more years hat," drawing laughs from Aliyev. Serving a third presidential term is explicitly barred by the 22nd Amendment, which states, "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice." Trump has said his vice president, JD Vance, is his "most likely" heir apparent to win the 2028 Republican nomination. "It's too early, obviously, to talk about it, but, certainly, he's doing a great job, and he would be probably favored at this point," Trump said on Aug. 5. The president has also pointed to Secretary of State Marco Rubio among other possible contenders. Reach Joey Garrison on X @joeygarrison.

Trump planning for Putin-Zelenskyy meeting while affirming security guarantees
President Donald Trump said he's begun arrangements for a face-to-face meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss a pathway to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Trump affirmed that the U.S. would back European security guarantees but stopped short of committing U.S. troops to a collective effort to prevent Moscow from reinvading its neighbor. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer told a virtual meeting of the 'Coalition of the Willing' on Tuesday that there was 'a real sense of unity and shared goal of securing a just and lasting peace for Ukraine' at their White House meeting with Trump. Starmer and Macron also discussed how more sanctions and other pressure could be placed on Putin until he shows he's 'ready to take serious action to end his illegal invasion,' according to the the Downing Street statement. The U.K. Chief of Defense Staff, Adm. Tony Radakin, is travelling to Washington as teams from the coalition of more than 30 nations meet with U.S. counterparts to strengthen 'plans to deliver robust security guarantees and prepare for the deployment of a reassurance force if the hostilities ended,' the statement said. French President Emmanuel Macron said it could happen 'in Europe' and he's advocating for Geneva in Switzerland, although he said it could be another 'neutral' country. He noted in an interview with French television TF1-LCI broadcast Tuesday that Istanbul hosted the most recent bilateral discussions, in 2022. Meanwhile, Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis said his country would be prepared to organize such a summit, Swiss public broadcaster SRF reported. Asked about the complication posed by the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Putin, Cassis said 'the aim of receiving Mr. Putin in Switzerland without him being arrested is 100% achievable … of course, if he comes to Switzerland for the purposes of peace, for such a multilateral conference, not if he comes for private matters.' Cassis said arranging for Putin to avoid arrest would require 'a certain procedure,' but it could be done 'in a few days.'

'You have my assurance': Trump says U.S. troops won't be involved in Ukraine peacekeeping
Asked in an interview "what kind of assurance" there is that US troops won't be involved in Ukraine after the war, Trump said "You have my assurance." President Donald Trump says U.S. troops won't be involved in any peacekeeping effort in Ukraine after the war, offering his "assurance" that wouldn't happen a day after he didn't rule it out while meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders. Asked in a Aug. 19 Fox News interview "what kind of assurance" there is that American troops won't be on the ground in Ukraine to defend the country in the future, Trump said "Well, you have my assurance." Trump was pressed repeatedly Aug. 18 during an Oval Office meeting with Zelenskyy if he is willing to send American peacekeepers to Ukraine. He said European nations are the "first line of defense" but added "we're going to help them out also. We'll be involved." Ukraine has sought security guarantees as part of any peace deal to prevent Russia from attacking the country again, and that was a major focus of the Aug. 17 meeting. Trump indicated the U.S. is prepared to help with security, drawing praise from Zelenskyy and European leaders. 'We will speak more about security guarantees,' Zelenskyy said. 'This is very important that the United States gives such strong signal and is ready for security guarantees.' Zelenskyy said he needs U.S. assistance to help Ukraine's army, as well as weapons and intelligence as part of a peace deal with Russia. Pushed to weigh in, Trump pointed to Europe again, saying "they want to give protection, they feel very strongly about it." 'And we'll help them out with that,' Trump said. 'I think it's very important. I think it's very important to get the deal." Sending U.S. troops would be a huge step, though, and a thorny political issue. During the Fox interview Trump also discussed his Aug. 18 conversation with Putin. He said he didn't call Putin in front of Zelenskyy and the European leaders. 'I thought that would be disrespectful to President Putin," Trump said. In describing his relationship with Putin, Trump said "there's a warmth there." Trump is trying to setup a meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy that would be followed by a three-way meeting that he would moderate. He suggested Putin and Zelenskyy are "getting along a little bit better than I thought." "Otherwise I wouldn't have setup the" two-way meeting, he said.
