US will not send troops to Ukraine, Pentagon chief says

President Donald Trump's administration is not sending U.S. troops into Ukraine, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Tuesday, Reuters reported.

Speaking with reporters in Germany, Hegseth also said that he would push European allies to spend more on defense when he meets with them this week.

"The European continent deserves to be free from any aggression, but it ought be those in the neighborhood investing the most in that individual and collective defense," Hegseth said.
