Trump navigates shifting Ukraine policy, ammunition dispute and security concerns

United States policy toward Ukraine has seen a notable turnaround, evolving from an earlier contentious Oval Office dispute into expanded defence cooperation, including manufacturing licenses for Patriot missile systems. Observers attribute Washington's evolving stance to Kyiv's demonstrated capability to launch strikes deep within Russian borders.

Simultaneously, President Donald Trump rejected reports suggesting American ammunition stockpiles were depleted amid tensions with Iran, threatening anonymous leakers with criminal prosecution. Trump also confirmed secretly switching planes upon departing a NATO summit in Ankara over Iranian threats, downplaying potential hazards for staff and media left aboard Air Force One.

Domestically, strict immigration raids have resulted in detentions affecting families of past Trump supporters. Meanwhile, European partners voiced dismay over indications that foreign US troop deployments might be conditioned on political alignment with Washington.
