Ukrainians on Tuesday welcomed President Trump's announcement that he would send additional weapons to fend off Russian attacks, even if it was the latest in a series of flip-flops on his approach to the war. Lawmakers and analysts in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, said they were not expecting a full turnaround on military assistance, given Mr. Trump's skepticism of U.S. spending on Ukraine and his fickleness on continuing military aid already funded by Congress. When Mr. Trump's administration last week decided to pause some already-approved arms transfers to Ukraine, officials said that the reason was to review weapons levels in American stockpiles. But on Monday, Mr. Trump said that Moscow's recent attacks on Ukrainian cities had left him no choice.

The European Commission announced a strategy on Tuesday that would involve identifying critical chemicals at risk from what the bloc's members deem unfair competition and setting up critical production sites to attract investment. Along with national governments, the bloc's regulatory arm has been under pressure from the industry to prevent plant closures, eliminate investment barriers and ease regulatory pressure.
