U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth denied that the U.S. is betraying Ukraine, following
00:09
comments that Ukraine should not join NATO and that it's up to Europe to protect itself
00:13
and Ukraine from Russian aggression.
00:17
Ahead of a meeting with NATO allies in Brussels on Thursday, he reiterated his call that Ukraine
00:22
should prepare for a negotiated peace settlement and abandon hope to gain back all its territory
00:27
from Russia.
00:28
There is no betrayal there.
00:31
There is a recognition that the whole world and the United States is invested and interested
00:36
in peace, a negotiated peace.
00:40
As President Trump has said, stopping the killing.
00:43
And so that will require both sides recognizing things they don't want to.
00:48
In response to the announcement from the Trump administration, NATO Chief Mark Rutte urged
00:53
the group's European allies to significantly ramp up their own defense spending.
00:58
We have to ramp up defense spending because we know we cannot protect ourselves four or
01:04
five years from now if we don't.
01:06
And also we need to ramp up defense spending because it is clear that U.S. rightly requires
01:12
us to do more here on the European side and the Canadian side of NATO.
01:17
It's only fair.
01:18
It's only sensible.
01:19
Rutte and several other NATO allies are insisting that Ukraine and Europe must not be cut out
01:24
of any peace negotiations, after Trump signaled that he would hold face-to-face talks soon
01:30
with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
