Trump Adopts Aggressive Stance Providing NATO Weapons Ukraine

News summary

President Donald Trump has shifted to a more confrontational stance toward Russia, expressing frustration with Vladimir Putin's ongoing aggression in Ukraine despite their cordial phone conversations. During a recent meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Trump announced plans to channel weapons to Ukraine through NATO allies and threatened to impose steep tariffs on countries purchasing Russian oil and uranium, signaling a tougher approach than previously expected. This policy shift comes after months of skepticism about aiding Ukraine and a contentious Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. However, experts caution that Trump's 50-day delay before sanctions take effect risks undermining their impact, especially without diplomatic efforts to dissuade China from buying Russian resources. While Trump criticizes Putin's duplicity and expresses readiness to support Ukraine more robustly, questions remain about the consistency and follow-through of his policies. Meanwhile, U.S. officials continue negotiations for new arms deals with Kyiv, with Trump hinting at sending Patriot missile defense systems to Ukraine.
