US President Donald Trump may use frozen Russian state assets worth $330bn. He is threatening to hand them over to Ukraine to purchase American weapons, The Telegraph reports.

However, the key question lies in Trump's strategy: will he get ahead of the game by using this lever of pressure immediately, or will he decide to wait and see to assess the development of potential negotiations with Vladimir Putin?

Experts note that such a move could serve as both a powerful tool of pressure and a cause for a new round of tension between the US and Russia.
