Trump admin updates: Trump wants Senate to cancel August recess to work on nominees

President Donald Trump was asked when he expected some weapons, including Patriot systems, to arrive in Ukraine.

"We're going to have some come very soon, within days," the president responded.

Trump said European countries that have Patriots will transfer them to Ukraine. "They're going to start arriving very soon," he said.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte jumped in to say the next arms delivery to Ukraine will encompass a wider range of military equipment beyond Patriot missile systems.

President Donald Trump announced an agreement with NATO regarding weapons to assist Ukraine amid Russia's onslaught.

"We've made a deal today where we are going to be sending them weapons and they're going to be paying for them. The United States will not be having any payment made," Trump said. "We're not buying it but we will manufacture it and they're going to be paying for it."

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte called the deal "really big" and said this is "Europeans stepping up."

“This is the first wave, and there will be more. European countries want to be part of it,” Rutte said.

President Donald Trump opened his remarks alongside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office on Monday by threatening "severe tariffs" against Russia.

"We're very, very unhappy with them," Trump said of Russia. "And we're going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don't have a deal in 50 days."

"Tariffs at about 100%, you know what that means. But today we're going to talk about something else," Trump continued, going on to talk about weapons to Ukraine.

President Donald Trump told NBC News last week that he'll have a "major statement" to make regarding Russia on Monday, as he expresses increasing frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump declined to elaborate what the announcement would be, but he said during the same interview that he expected the Senate to pass a measure to place more sanctions on Russia.

Trump also shared with NBC what he said was a new agreement between the U.S., NATO and Ukraine over the shipment of weapons. The president said Sunday that his administration would provide more "sophisticated" equipment to aid Kyiv in its defense against Russian attacks.
