In a series of recent announcements, Trump has strengthened his support for Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia by pledging to provide vital military aid, including high-profile commitments like sending Patriot missiles. He has also threatened Russia with severe sanctions, including 100% tariffs, should it fail to de-escalate the situation. Despite some criticism from within his own party, Trump remains adamant that strong measures are necessary to pressure Putin and end the war, giving Russia a 50-day ultimatum to negotiate a peace deal. The situation remains fluid as Trump’s pivot on weapon supplies and tariffs signals a significant shift in U.S. policy towards Russia and its aggression.
