A cafe in Binalong, Australia, has added a surcharge on U.S. drinks to support Ukraine amid ongoing tensions. Co-owners Adrian Sykes and Jan Giles initiated this measure after a tense meeting between Ukraine's President Zelensky and U.S. President Trump. The community has responded positively, raising over AUD$2,000 (about $1,265) for the Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal. The cafe's owners plan to maintain the surcharge until they see a change in Trump's approach to Ukraine. This action follows Trump's tariffs on Australian steel and aluminum, which Sykes cited as further motivation to stand in solidarity with Ukraine.
