As the war in Ukraine continues to escalate, U.S. President Donald Trump has found himself at the center of a major diplomatic dilemma. On Monday, the president issued an ultimatum to Moscow, warning 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. However, Trump quickly clarified that these actions do not mean he is ‘on Ukraine’s side,’ stating that he is ‘on nobody’s side.’
