Trump cuts US intelligence to Ukraine & China declares its 'ready for war'

Day 1,106.


We cover Zelensky's letter to Trump, aiming to mend their
relationship after Friday's heated exchange. We also explore the
incoming German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s plan to boost defense
and infrastructure spending. In addition, Trump bans the UK from
sharing Washington’s intelligence with Ukraine, and reports
surface of Ukrainian soldiers resorting to throwing beehives
after running out of grenades.
