When You're On Nobody's Side, Who Has Your Back?
This is Bloomberg Opinion Today, a comprehensive picture of Bloomberg Opinion's opinions. Sign up here. Well, folks, a mere 11 days after reportedly asking President Volodymyr Zelenskiy whether he could strike Moscow with weapons provided by the US — an act that Marc Champion says 'nobody in their right mind would suggest' — President Donald Trump now claims he's on 'nobody's side' and just wants the killing to stop.

Trump says Zelenskiy should not target Moscow
WASHINGTON, July 15 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy should not target Moscow and that Russian President Vladimir Putin should agree to a ceasefire deal by a 50-day deadline or sanctions will kick in. His comments came after The Financial Times, citing people briefed on discussions, reported on Tuesday that Trump had privately encouraged Ukraine to step up deep strikes on Russia. The newspaper added that Trump asked Zelenskiy whether he could strike Moscow if the U.S. provided long-range weapons. "No, he shouldn't target Moscow," Trump told reporters on the South Lawn of the White House when asked if Zelenskiy should attack the Russian capital. Trump on Monday announced a toughened stance against Russia for its three-year-old war in Ukraine, promising a fresh wave of missiles and other weaponry for Ukraine. He gave Moscow 50 days to reach a ceasefire or face sanctions. Asked if he was now on the side of Ukraine, Trump said, "I am on nobody's side," and then declared he was on "humanity's side" because "I want to stop the killing." Trump defended the deadline he set for Russia to agree to a deal and head off tariffs and sanctions on countries that buy oil from Russia. "I don't think 50 days is very long and it could be sooner than that," he said. He did not say whether any talks were planned to try to work out a deal with Russia. "At the end of the 50 days if we don't have a deal, it's going to be too bad," he said.

Trump asked Zelenskiy if Ukraine could hit Moscow, FT reports
July 15 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump has privately encouraged Ukraine to step up strikes deep in Russian territory, even asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy whether he could hit Moscow if the U.S. provided long-range weapons, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday. The newspaper, citing two people familiar with the conversation, said Trump spoke to his Ukrainian counterpart in a call on July 4, a day after speaking to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump also discussed sending Ukraine U.S.-made ATACMS missiles, the FT reported, citing the same sources. The White House did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Reuters could not verify the report. Trump at the time said he had been disappointed by the call with Putin because it does not appear the Russian leader was looking to stop Russia's war against Ukraine.
