The plan is to have European nations purchase American weapons, then transfer them to Ukraine. Mark Rutte, Secretary General of NATO described the weapons agreement as a game-changer. He identified several nations – including Germany, Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway – as potential suppliers of the new equipment.
In fact, Trump told NBC News on Thursday that he has already secured a deal through NATO to send new Patriot anti-missile missiles to Ukraine.
This is just bullshit. A warmongering country that started this proxy war using Ukraine to fight Russia wants "peace" at its own terms! 😡😡😡
Of course, that's not all. Trump promised “tariffs at about 100%, you’d call them secondary tariffs. You know what that means”. He even gloated: “I use trade for a lot of things. But it’s great for settling wars”.
A White House official clarified to CNN that when the president referred to “secondary tariffs”, he meant 100% tariffs on Russia and secondary sanctions on other countries that buy Russian oil. The US conducts very little trade with Russia, making the secondary sanctions the piece with potentially the most bite.
“They’re secondary sanctions. It’s sanctions on countries that are buying the oil from Russia. So it’s really not about sanctioning Russia”, Matt Whitaker, the US ambassador to NATO, told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins at the White House. “It’s about tariffs on countries like India and China (and Brazil) that are buying their oil. It really is going to dramatically impact the Russian economy”.
On Sunday, Liverpool won their first pre-season friendly game by claiming a 3-1 victory over Preston North End. BTW, pre-match saw emotional tributes to Diogo Jota, including a rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone and a minute’s silence in honour of the striker and his brother Andre Silva.
