Europe Sees Tentative Positives in Trump's Ukraine Stance

European officials and analysts view President Trump's apparent shift towards supporting Ukraine with sophisticated weapons as a positive development, suggesting he now recognizes the need to make Russia's war in Ukraine too costly. This is coupled with his newfound appreciation for a strong Europe. The article notes that European nations are increasingly taking charge of their own security, a departure from past reliance on the US. However, European leaders remain cautious, understanding they cannot fully depend on Trump's commitment and are skeptical of his economic threats against Russia, viewing them as unlikely to alter Putin's strategy.
