Current Status of the Ukraine-Russia War and Paths to Negotiation

Donald Trump is growing impatient with Russian President Vladimir Putin, publicly lamenting earlier this week the fact that Russia hasn't agreed to a peace deal with Ukraine.

Trump also promised new tariffs if a peace deal doesn't come in 50 days. New sanctions are on the table, too.

With NATO's secretary general, Mark Rutte, by his side, Trump also announced the U.S. would help Europe send more weapons to Ukraine. Under the arrangement, NATO would buy American weapons and pass them to Kyiv.

We discuss what U.S. support for Ukraine means for the conflict.
