President Donald Trump has made a major shift in his Ukraine policy, announcing that the US will supply advanced weapons to Ukraine via NATO allies and threatening severe tariffs on Russia and its trading partners if Moscow does not agree to a peace deal within 50 days.
This marks a sharp reversal from his previous stance, which was more conciliatory toward Vladimir Putin. Despite the ultimatum and new sanctions threats, Russian officials have largely dismissed Trump's demands, continuing their military campaign in Ukraine. Analysts are skeptical that Trump's deadline will force Putin to negotiate, but the move signals a significant escalation in US involvement and pressure on Russia.
The new approach could have wide-ranging implications for the war, US-Europe relations, and global trade.
