**Trump Maps Out Military Support for Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict**
Former President Trump has outlined plans to expedite military aid to Ukraine, warning new sanctions against Russia if peace is not achieved soon.
In a bold move, former President Donald Trump announced he would help expedite weapons shipments to Ukraine during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office. In his remarks, Trump made it clear that should Russia fail to negotiate a peace treaty within the next 50 days, he would impose a new round of stringent sanctions on the nation.
“We are prepared to quickly distribute these weapons to the battlefield,” Trump declared, emphasizing the urgency of the situation in Ukraine, which continues to face intensified assaults from Russian forces.
He expressed his frustration towards Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating, “I’m disappointed because I thought we would have had a deal two months ago.” While many may interpret his willingness to negotiate with Putin as a soft stance, Trump was firm in his assertion that he does not believe he is being deceived by the Russian leader, despite the continued violence.
“My conversations with him are very pleasant and yet, the missiles go off at night,” he noted, acknowledging Russia's broken commitments to peace talks. Referring to Putin's historical dealings with past U.S. presidents, Trump remarked, “He’s fooled a lot of people, but he hasn’t fooled me.”
As the three-year war persists, Trump’s declarations signal a possible escalation in military support for Ukraine and a renewed focus on coordinated NATO efforts in the face of ongoing conflict.
