As NBC News has learned, members of US President Donald Trump's team are urging him to show toughness in his relations with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. In their opinion, this will not be enough to force the illegitimate head of the Kremlin to stop his war of aggression against Ukraine.

Points of attention

  • The threat of imposing tariffs on Russian oil adds a new dimension to the complex relationship between the two leaders.
  • The outcomes of Trump's discussions with Putin could have significant implications for the ongoing conflict and global geopolitics.

Trump should get tougher on Putin

According to insiders from the US presidential administration, Donald Trump's inner circle is convincing the latter not to call the Russian dictator until he commits to a ceasefire in the war against Ukraine.

Anonymous sources do not specify how the head of the White House himself reacted to the idea of blackmailing Putin.

On March 30, it became known that Trump intends to hold a new conversation with the illegitimate head of the Kremlin, during which they will discuss Ukraine. He himself stated this, commenting on the progress towards ending the war.

At the same time, the American leader publicly threatened to impose new tariffs on Russian oil.

Despite this, he added that if Putin does the "right things," his anger may dissipate.

The last telephone conversation between the US and Russian leaders was on March 18, and it lasted over an hour and a half.

At a meeting on April 4, the Norwegian government discussed and approved an increase in aid to Ukraine this year to 85 billion kroner ($7.8 billion).

Points of attention

  • Norway has tripled its military aid to Ukraine in 2025, demonstrating its unwavering support for the country's defense capabilities.
  • The Norwegian government approved a substantial aid package of 85 billion Norwegian kroner, which will be instrumental in enhancing Ukraine's defense capabilities.
  • This increased aid to Ukraine will not impact the Norwegian economy, as the funds will be utilized abroad for supporting Ukraine's military efforts.

Norway triples aid to Ukraine

This was announced by Norwegian Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg.

The Norwegian government has approved a support package totaling NOK 50 billion, in addition to the previous NOK 35 billion. This brings the total funding to support Ukraine this year to NOK 85 billion.

"We will triple military support," Stoltenberg said.

He noted that the money will be used abroad, so it will not put pressure on the Norwegian economy.

In February, Norway announced the allocation of a €300 million aid package for the Ukrainian energy sector and the opening of a direct investment channel into the country's industry.

In early March, the Norwegian Parliament decided to increase support for Ukraine to 85 billion Norwegian kroner (almost $8 billion) in 2025. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre called this a contribution to peace and stability in Europe.
