The President, Leavitt stressed, is focused on brokering robust peace terms by backing European allies and pushing for a security architecture “acceptable to all sides.” Addressing concerns about ongoing US war funding, Leavitt highlighted a new approach: NATO and partners will purchase American weaponry while Washington “backfills” Ukraine’s needs without open-ended spending by US taxpayers. Asked if Vladimir Putin’s proposal to host talks in Moscow was a stalling tactic, Leavitt declined to confirm details, stating there are “many options” on the table and that preparations for both the security framework and summit location are ongoing.
