Hegseth says of Ukraine negotiations "everything is on the table"

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said of potential negotiations to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine that  "everything is on the table." 

"I want to be clear about something as it pertains to NATO membership not being a realistic outcome for negotiations," Hegseth said Thursday at the NATO Defense Ministerial meeting in Brussels. A day earlier he had said it was "unrealistic" for Ukraine to expect NATO membership in any peace deal. 

"That's something that was stated as part of my remarks here as part of a coordination with how we're executing these ongoing negotiations, which are led by President Trump. All of that said, these negotiations are led by President Trump. Everything is on the table."
