President Donald Trump has finally found a way to like arming Ukraine: ask European allies to donate their weapons, and sell them American replacements.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Several European countries said on Tuesday they were willing to buy U.S. arms for Ukraine under a scheme announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, although arrangements still needed to be worked out.

Donald Trump’s plan to allow the European Union pay for arms supplied to Ukraine is piling pressure on EU officials negotiating how to finance the bloc’s defense-spending ambitions.

President Trump now wants to give more weapons to Ukraine and is threatening increased sanctions if Russian President Vladimir Putin doesn't agree to end the war in 50 days. The president explained why in a phone call with our partners at BBC News.

In an interview by phone, President Trump told BBC Chief North America Correspondent Gary O’Donoghue that he is “not done” with Russian President Putin but is “disappointed in him” over the lack of a ceasefire deal with Ukraine.
