President Trump’s new plan to send weapons to Ukraine and threaten tariffs on Russia’s trading partners was discussed. Trump announced the transfer of Patriot air defense systems and other arms to Ukraine, with European nations potentially involved. Pentagon officials noted unresolved details. Experts doubted the feasibility of imposing 100% tariffs on Russia’s $250 billion trade with China. Trump’s strategy aims to pressure China to influence Russia. Critics argue Trump is abandoning his base’s expectations of smaller government and non-intervention. The conversation also touched on the overturning of court decisions and the role of lower courts in the legal system.
