President Donald Trump has reversed course on Ukraine, announcing a new weapons deal with NATO that will funnel American-made arms to Kyiv, paid for entirely by European allies. The president also threatened Moscow with 100 percent tariffs if they do not agree to a ceasefire within 50 days.
The move follows months of stalled aid, failed diplomacy with Vladimir Putin, and mounting civilian casualties on both sides of the Russo-Ukrainian War.
