Kyiv (AP): President Donald Trump suggested to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a call on Wednesday that the US take ownership of Ukrainian power plants to ensure the critical facilities' security.
Trump told Zelenskyy that the US could be “very helpful in running those plants with its electricity and utility expertise," according to a White House statement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio and national security adviser Mike Waltz.
Trump added that “American ownership of those plants could be the best protection for that infrastructure.”
