Donald Trump lashes out at Putin’s ‘bad leadership’ and U-turns on Ukraine position
Why Trump called out Putin for his ‘bad leadership’
- The US president criticised Russian leader Vladimir Putin's "bad leadership" regarding the war in Ukraine, stating it was "making him look bad".
- He indicated a shift in his stance, now believing Ukraine can reclaim all territory occupied by Russia since the invasion.
- The US president threatened "powerful tariffs" on Moscow if Russia does not agree to a deal, urging European countries to follow suit.
- Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen suggested possible Russian involvement in recent drone activity that led to the shutdown of Copenhagen and Oslo airports.
- These drone incidents, which Danish police attributed to a "capable operator", follow a series of alleged Russian incursions into Nato airspace, condemned by the alliance.
