The closed-door gathering of 34 army chiefs, including #NATO #alliance & #EU members as well as #Japan & #Australia, was a rare - & possibly unprecedented - convening without the #UnitedStates.
The talks aimed in part to assess options & capabilities to guarantee #Ukraine's security in the event of a #ceasefire, including potential European peacekeepers, & to maintain Kyiv's long-term #military strength.
A #military official said the #UnitedStates was NOT INVITED, in an intended signal that #Europe & other partners could take their responsibilities given #Trump has distanced himself from former #US #allies.
Officials said the presence of countries like Japan & Australia, both of whom have also faced uncertainty from the new US admin, showed a deeper malaise among Washington's traditional allies.
It will be interesting to see what the reaction if any to this will be from the WH. The last thing megalomaniacs and narcissist like Donald Trump can stand is being locked out.
