Trump said after a call last week with Putin that he was unhappy with Russia’s president and “I don’t think he’s looking to stop” the war. Then, speaking at the start of a dinner he hosted for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday night, Trump said, “I’m not happy with President Putin at all.”

I’m not happy with Putin ... because he’s killing a lot of people,” Trump said. He decided to resume weapons shipments to Ukraine days after the White House announced a halt.

President Trump lashed out at the Russian leader on Tuesday, signaling a change in his posture toward the conflict.
