In a bold move to support Ukraine amidst its ongoing conflict with Russia, President Donald Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte have revealed a new plan to supply Ukraine with missiles and other weaponry. This announcement, made on Monday, follows Trump's frustrations with Russian President Vladimir Putin's reluctance to negotiate.

The plan ensures that while the United States will supply the weapons, NATO countries will bear the financial burden. Rutte commented on the deployment of a substantial arsenal, including missiles as a preliminary batch. Trump also confirmed the imminent delivery of a Patriot missile system.

In a further diplomatic pressure tactic, Trump has threatened to implement severe tariffs on Russia within 50 days should they refuse to broker a peace agreement. This development has raised questions among Congressional leaders, who are developing a sanctions package targeting Russia as well. Trump's disappointment with Putin's persistence in the conflict highlights the international tension surrounding the situation.
