After European leaders stepped up military spending, President Trump aligned himself more closely with them on the war. But his tariffs threats have left bruises.

On Thursday, Trump announced that he “just made a deal” to make that happen, telling NBC News that the U.S. will be “sending weapons to NATO, and NATO is paying for those weapons 100% … then NATO is going to be giving those weapons [to Ukraine].”

Trump asked Volodymyr Zelenskyy whether Ukraine could strike Moscow, an inquiry that the White House says was merely a question but one that came hours after he voiced frustration at Putin’s refusal to accept a ceasefire.
