Donald Trump has said that US weapons are already “being shipped” to Ukraine as Washington ramps up its military support for Kyiv. A number of Kyiv’s European allies will purchase Patriot air defence missile systems from the US to assist Ukraine’s defence.

Trump said the United States would put secondary tariffs on countries that do business with Russia if a peace deal is not reached in 50 days.

On July 14 U.S. President Donald Trump announced a significant shift in U.S. policy toward ending the war in Ukraine, unveiling a new plan to boost military support for Kyiv while increasing pressure on Moscow.

President Trump's tone has shifted both toward Putin and regarding the continuation of U.S. military support for Ukraine.

First Lady Melania Trump is making headlines for her unexpected influence on US foreign policy. During a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, President Donald Trump revealed that Melania played a key role in changing his stance on Vladimir Putin.

In exchange for David Slater's guilty plea in conspiring to transmit classified information about Russia's war with Ukraine on a foreign online dating platform, two other counts were dropped.

During his campaign, Trump said bringing a quick end to the war was a top priority and that helping Ukraine was a waste of US taxpayer money.

Zelenskyy said he and Trump’s envoy, retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, had “a productive conversation” about strengthening Ukrainian air defenses, joint arms production and purchasing U.S. weapons in conjunction with European countries, as well as the possibility of tighter international sanctions on the Kremlin.
