Overview
- After meeting Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the UN, President Trump posted that Ukraine can retake all territory with EU and NATO support and described Russia as a "paper tiger."
- Trump said NATO allies should shoot down Russian aircraft that enter their airspace, while noting U.S. backing would depend on the circumstances.
- He urged Europe to stop buying Russian oil and floated powerful tariffs or sanctions, yet he announced no detailed new U.S. measures.
- Trump said the U.S. will keep supplying weapons to NATO for allies to use or transfer, stopping short of pledging expanded direct U.S. aid to Kyiv.
- Hungary insists it will keep importing Russian oil as the EU reportedly studies limits on Druzhba pipeline deliveries, and Zelenskyy welcomed what he called a big shift in Trump’s stance.
