Recall
On July 14, US President Donald Trump announced an agreement with NATO on arming Ukraine. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte called the agreement "really big," noting that it was the first wave of aid.
"Today we made a deal where we're going to send them weapons and they're going to pay for it. The United States will not receive any payments," Trump said. "We're not buying it, but we're going to produce it and they're going to pay for it."
