05.03.2025 โ‡ข Day Intelligence Dried While China Roared
โŒจTrump's address to Congress showcased Zelensky's conciliatory letter, marking a shift from their earlier confrontation. A Democrat was ejected during protests while Trump criticized European spending on Russian oil versus Ukraine aid.

By mid-morning, China responded to Trump's new tariffs with warnings of readiness for war. The situation intensified when the US defense secretary declared America's preparedness for conflict.

The afternoon brought a significant development as the US suspended intelligence sharing with Ukraine, particularly information that could aid attacks inside Russia. This prompted Macron to gather European army chiefs in Paris and warn that Russian aggression "knows no borders" in a televised address.

The shift in US-Ukraine relations triggered immediate European responses, with discussions of France potentially extending its nuclear shield and increasing collective defense spending.
