US President Donald Trump has told reporters that his recent ultimatum to Moscow and promise of weapons for Kiev do not mean he is “on Ukraine’s side” in the ongoing conflict.
On Monday, the US head of state said he was “very, very unhappy” with Russia, and warned of “severe” secondary tariffs of up to 100% if no progress is made in diplomacy within 50 days. He also announced upcoming deliveries of advanced weapons systems to Ukraine, which are to be funded by European NATO members.
Pressed by reporters on Tuesday, Trump insisted he is “on nobody’s side” and still hopes to resolve the conflict through diplomacy.
