If you've lost track of where the U.S. stands on Russia's war with Ukraine, you're forgiven.

Earlier this month, the administration announced it wasn't going to keep sending weapons to Ukraine.

It's unclear how long this pause will last.

The Pentagon said the stockpiles of munitions had been depleted from the U.S. support for Ukraine as well as military operations.

The delay includes key air defense interceptors and marks a shifted priorities under President Trump.

Days later, things seemed to shift. President Trump told reporters that he and Russian President

President Vladimir Putin had a phone call. Apparently, it didn't go well.

And we also talked about, as you know, the war with Ukraine. And I'm not happy about that.

I'm not happy. Not happy because Russia was continuing to bombard Ukraine, something President

Trump noted during a dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week.

They're getting hit very hard now. They're getting hit very hard.

That same evening, he backed away from the decision to pause weapon shipments.

We're going to send some more weapons. We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves.

The U.S. began shipping

weapons two days after the president made those remarks. And Monday, seated next to NATO Secretary

General Mark Ruta, Trump increased pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin, threatening secondary

tariffs and promising to provide more weapons for Ukraine.

So in a nutshell, we're going to make top-of-the-line weapons and they'll be sent to NATO.

Consider this. When it comes to Ukraine, President Trump seems to be taking a tougher stance against Russia,

but will it make a difference and will it last?
