President Donald Trump unveiled a wave of letters posted letters to various nations on social media on Monday, starting with his intent to impose 25% levies on goods from Japan and South Korea. The European Union is seeking to conclude a preliminary trade deal with the US that would allow it to lock in a 10% tariff rate beyond an Aug. 1 deadline.

Trump said he’d ship more weapons to Ukraine, a reversal after the Pentagon halted flows of some air-defense missiles and artillery shells to the country. He didn’t specify what the US would provide except to say the armaments would be “defense weapons primarily.”

“I’m disappointed, frankly, that President Putin hasn’t stopped,” Trump said on Russian attacks in Ukraine. “I’m not happy about it.”
