Tensions ran high as President Donald Trump met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House. When asked how far he would go if Putin escalated the war in Ukraine, Trump fired back: “Don’t ask me a question like that.” He went on to emphasize his desire to end the war, calling for strength through unity and a better-armed Europe.
Trump also announced that the U.S. will manufacture and send “top-of-the-line weapons” to NATO — a move likely to inflame Russia and reshape NATO’s military posture.
Watch the full exchange and breakdown of what this means for Ukraine, NATO, and the path forward in Europe’s most dangerous conflict since WWII.

French President Emmanuel Macron has issued a dire warning about the security of Europe, calling the current geopolitical climate the gravest threat since World War II. In a hard-hitting speech on the eve of Bastille Day, Macron announced a dramatic increase in France's defence budget, vowing to double it to €64 billion by 2027—three years ahead of schedule. He cited Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, rising nuclear threats, and unpredictable U.S. policy as key concerns. “To be free, you must be feared,” he declared, reinforcing his belief in strength through military power. France’s top general also claimed Russia now views France as its top European adversary. As tensions soar and NATO pushes for 5% GDP defence spending, Macron’s move marks a strategic pivot to prepare France and Europe for a potentially volatile decade. The plan awaits approval, but the message is clear—Europe must act now or risk losing its standing.
