Part 4/16:
President Trump’s recent arms deal with NATO is designed to facilitate the transfer of American weapons through European allies, who will purchase replacements from U.S. military sources, costing an estimated $10 billion. As part of this strategy, Trump set a 50-day ultimatum for President Putin to negotiate peace, warning of new sanctions and tariffs if Moscow fails to comply. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed gratitude for Trump’s support but urged a quicker escalation of pressure, describing the deadline as a futile effort that could cost lives, especially given Putin’s apparent unwillingness to compromise.
