** President Trump has come out against new EU-proposed sanctions on Russia, arguing that they could hurt efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict rather than help. His stance puts him at odds with European allies who see the sanctions as necessary pressure.

What This Mean: ** This isn’t just about sanctions—it’s another example of Trump’s unorthodox approach to foreign policy, especially when it comes to Russia. While critics might see this as undermining Western unity, his supporters could argue he’s prioritizing diplomacy over escalation. Either way, it keeps tensions simmering between the U.S. and its allies on how to handle Moscow.
