Trump asks NATO for more Ukraine weapons funding; peace talks set for November 10

The Trump administration plans to press NATO allies in November to increase funding for American weapons supplied to Ukraine, according to Bloomberg, as new peace talks are scheduled for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi. The reported initiative aims to shift more of the financial burden for Kyiv's military aid onto European allies, though Reuters said it could not independently confirm the plans. The request comes amid strained US-Ukraine relations and preparations for negotiations mediated by Washington. US envoy Steve Witkoff announced the talks will focus on post-war security, de-escalation, and humanitarian efforts. Before Abu Dhabi, American negotiators will meet European and NATO representatives in Brussels to discuss security guarantees and reconstruction support.
