The U.S. is backing security guarantees for Ukraine. The pledge was made Tuesday at an international summit in Paris where 35 nations vowed to support Ukraine in its war against Russia. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff was at the summit and said the guarantees are meant to deter further attacks on Ukraine. The Pentagon says it will execute a review of women in ground combat roles. The review is meant to determine the effectiveness of military fitness standards 10 years after the Department of Defense lifted restrictions against women from serving in combat. Thousands of women serve in the U.S. military. The Trump administration is adding 25 new nations to a list requiring travelers to post bonds before entering the U.S. The State Department said Tuesday there are now 38 countries subject to the requirement, most of them in Africa. Venezuela is one of the new countries added to the updated list.
