Trump: Deal struck to send Ukraine weapons through NATO

President Trump announced a deal with NATO to supply weapons to Ukraine, emphasizing that the alliance will cover the full cost. He framed it as a win for the U.S., shifting the financial burden to NATO while bolstering Ukraine's defenses.
Editor’s Note: This move signals continued U.S. support for Ukraine amid its conflict with Russia, but with a twist—Trump’s focus on cost-sharing reflects his longstanding push for allies to shoulder more defense spending. It’s a strategic play that could ease domestic criticism while keeping pressure on Moscow, but the details (and NATO’s exact role) still need clarity. For Ukraine, more weapons help, but the geopolitical chess game isn’t over.
