Overview

• After a bilateral with Volodymyr Zelensky in New York, Trump wrote on his social network that Ukraine could fight and reconquer its pre‑invasion borders and praised the Ukrainian leader.
• He pledged continued arms support routed through NATO and European partners, signaling reliance on allied channels rather than direct U.S. commitments.
• He proposed a round of “very strong” tariffs meant to pressure Moscow, saying he would move only if Europe did the same and accusing some NATO countries of funding Russia through ongoing energy purchases.
• In a 57‑minute General Assembly address, he attacked the United Nations, urged an end to migration flows, and called climate change “the greatest scam” of all time.
• Reporters noted the statements represent another reversal in his Ukraine posture, casting uncertainty on how durable this shift will be.
