Despite earlier denials from the White House, Trump told reporters he would decide soon.
“We certainly don’t want to hurt them, but some people think it’s the right thing to do, others don’t. I’ll make a decision shortly,” Trump said at a press conference.
Pressure on Kyiv
The move follows Trump’s decision to suspend arms shipments and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, increasing pressure on President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to accept Washington’s terms for a ceasefire and negotiations with Russia.
According to analysts, threatening to remove legal protections for Ukrainians in the U.S. could be part of broader efforts by the White House to secure Ukrainian concessions.
