Trump made headlines as he held a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office, discussing the urgent need for enhanced military assistance to Ukraine.

He remarked, “I’m disappointed in President Putin, because I thought we would have had a deal two months ago,” illustrating his frustration over the stalled negotiations.
