US President Donald Trump met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Monday and announced a new plan to arm Ukraine. Here is a quick explainer of what happened in the meeting and the key things that was mentioned.
Five key things that came out of Donald Trump's meeting with NATO.
In the meeting Mr Trump said that he was disappointed with Russia’s unwillingness to end the war on Ukraine.
He said he often speaks to Russia’s President Vladmir Putin.
"I speak to him a lot about getting this thing done. And I always hang up and say, well, that was a nice phone call. And then missiles are launched into Kyiv or some other city, and (I say) strange," said Trump.
Trump is now taking a harder line with Putin and shows a clear U-turn for U.S. policy only weeks after the Pentagon announced it would be pausing weapons shipments to Ukraine.
Trump has spoken out in recent days about the human toll inflicted on Ukrainians and the impact that it was having.
"Ultimately talk doesn't talk. It's got to be (about) action. It's got to be (about) results," said Trump on Monday.
The tarrif ultimatum Trump has put on Russia is a firm attempt to put an end to the war and hopes it will work.
Trump added that trade is "great for settling wars."
