Ukraine U-Turn? Trump blasts Putin, approves 'massive' arms sales for Kyiv
45:19 From the show The Nobel Peace Prize can wait. The same Donald Trump whose administration just weeks ago paused munitions and air defense supplies for Ukraine now turning on Vladimir Putin with threats of asset seizures and ramped up weapons sales for Kyiv. Why the about-face? How committed to Ukraine is Trump going forward? How committed to Nato?
