Axios: US to supply Kyiv with $10B worth of weapons as part of NATO deal

President Trump announced Monday that the US will dramatically increase weapons supplies to European allies, with those countries then sending arms to Ukraine, Report informs via Axios.

A source familiar with the plan tells Axios the US will sell around $10 billion in weapons to NATO allies in the first wave.

The supplies ultimately bound for Ukraine include missiles, air defense weaponry and artillery shells.

This is a seismic policy shift from Trump, who originally refused to side with Ukraine and until very recently insisted he would only supply defensive weapons so as not to escalate the war.

Trump also said he was giving Russia 50 days to make a deal or else face 100% "secondary tariffs," seemingly referring to a plan to impose tariffs on countries like China and India that buy Russian oil. That would have a major impact on global oil markets.

A White House official told Axios that Russia must agree to a ceasefire within 50 days to avoid steep sanctions and tariffs.
