President Donald Trump has reverted to his first-term foreign policy posturing, which was generally pretty great from a conservative perspective.

President Trump is now supporting a plan to send advanced weapons — including Patriot missiles — to NATO for delivery to Ukraine, marking a dramatic reversal after months of uncertainty about U.S. support.

It’s worth noting the commitments of China and North Korea to Russia’ warmongering in Ukraine have overtones of the escalating domino effect that triggered World War I,

Pivots have been jarring, particularly for those whose criticism of military aid was central to their political brand

The change in Trump’s approach may also mean that the $US8 billion (£6 billion) of frozen Russian assets in the US (and US$223 billion in Europe) could be released to aid Ukraine, which would provide a ready means to pay for the US arms transfers.

Donald Trump appeared to glitch a little when asked about reports that he didn’t know Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had ordered the pause.

President Donald Trump today announced a new plan to increase sales of U.S. weapons to Europe in order to help support Ukraine, and promised aggressive new tariffs—perhaps as high as 100%—aimed at Russia’s trading partners should it fail to reach a peace deal in the next 50 days.

Fox News senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich reports on the new deal President Donald Trump worked out with NATO that would provide equipment assistance to Ukraine on 'Special Report.'

The president is not in control of his own government.
