Vance left the door open to sanctions against Russia and even U.S. troops on the ground if Russia doesn't negotiate in good faith

Defense Secretary Hegseth was asked on Friday about the possibility of the U.S. sending troops to Ukraine just after Vice President Vance said the option had not been ruled out.

Vice President JD Vance issued a stark warning to Russia, threatening the potential deployment of U.S. troops to Ukraine—a move that directly undercut Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth who was forced into an embarrassing reversal on his earlier remarks.
