President Trump on Monday pivoted in favor of Ukraine, arranging for U.S. weapons to be delivered to Kyiv and threatening new sanctions on Moscow if Russia’s war stretches later in the year.
Speaking in the Oval Office alongside NATMore...O Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Trump outlined the parameters of a deal to sell U.S.-manufactured weapons to NATO, with the expectation that they’ll be delivered to Ukraine.
The systems include Patriot missile defense batteries, which are seen as critical for Ukraine’s defenses as it seeks to guard its skies from Russian bombardment.
Trump cast the agreement as a win for the U.S., which has approved more than $175 billion in aid for Ukraine since the war started in 2022. It comes after most NATO countries agreed to ramp up their defense spending.
“We are going to be sending them weapons and they’re going to be paying for them,” Trump said.
The president also set a 50-day deadline for Russian President Vladimir Putin to bring an end to the war.
