Book Reveals Trump Rejected Proposal for Indian Troops in Ukraine Peacekeeping Mission
The book "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump" by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reveals that US Vice President JD Vance proposed deploying Indian troops to Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping mission during Trump's second term. The proposal, discussed in a meeting including Trump and senior officials, aimed to avoid NATO troop involvement to reduce Russian provocation. Trump reportedly rejected the idea, stating, "The Indians won't do that. They won't pay for something like that." The plan also involved peacekeepers from European countries and sought a ceasefire without US recognition of Russia's territorial claims.
