NATO ministers discuss 'Trump-proof' $100 BILLION military fund for Ukraine that will guarantee US support even if Donald Trump returns to the White House

NATO foreign ministers are discussing the prospect of an unprecedented military fund for Ukraine that would see alliance members commit $100 billion (£79.5 billion) over five years to ensure long-term support, even amid a Trump presidency. The proposals, led by outgoing NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, would give the security bloc a more direct role in coordinating the supply of arms, ammunition and equipment to Ukraine as it fights Russia's invasion, diplomats say.

Until now, NATO has focused on non-lethal aid for Ukraine for fears that a more hands-on approach could trigger an escalation of tensions with Russia. Its members have provided billions of dollars in arms, but at their own discretion on a bilateral basis.

Under the new plans, NATO would be granted control of the U.S.-led ad-hoc coalition known as the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, which coordinates the sourcing and supply of lethal weapons and military kit to Kyiv. The move is designed in part to guard against any cut in U.S. support if Donald Trump returns to the White House, with Stoltenberg saying it would 'shield the mechanism (of providing aid to Ukraine) against the winds of political change'.

Trump has previously railed against the U.S. provision of funding to Ukraine and said he would 'end the war in a day' if he were in the White House. Last month the former US president rocked allies by saying he would encourage Russia to 'do whatever the hell they want' to any NATO country not meeting its financial obligations.

The plans will be discussed during a two-day meeting in Brussels this week that will celebrate the 75th anniversary of NATO's founding and prepare for a summit of alliance leaders in Washington in July.

Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert, 37, has emergency surgery for blood clot her spokesperson says could have been caused by too much sitting

• Boebert was diagnosed with May-Thurner Syndrome, a rare vascular condition that affects a vein in your pelvis

• She had surgery Monday to get rid of the clot, with a stent inserted Tuesday morning

• Boebert, 37, is attempting to win a seat in the state's Fourth Congressional District after two terms in the third

GOP Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is recovering after emergency surgery to remove a blood clot in her leg, as she faces a tough re-election campaign in a new district.

Boebert, 37, is attempting to win a seat in the state's Fourth Congressional District in 2024 after previously winning two terms in the third.

Those efforts will go on hold temporarily after she was admitted to a Colorado hospital Monday, complaining of severe swelling in the upper part of her left leg, according to her campaign.

She was diagnosed with May-Thurner Syndrome, a rare vascular condition that affects a vein in the pelvis and can cause deep vein thrombosis. Her spokesman suggested it could be caused by sitting down too much.

Boebert had surgery Monday to remove the clot, with a stent inserted Tuesday morning.

Trump sues two Truth Social co-founders, claiming the former Apprentice stars' mistakes cost him money and that they should be stripped of their shares

• Trump argues Wes Moss' and Andy Litinsky's mistakes cost him money and they should be stripped of their shares as the company goes public

• The suit follows a complaint filed in February by Litinsky and Moss in Florida

• Their lawsuit sought to prevent Trump from taking steps the two said would sharply reduce their combined 8.6 percent stake in Trump Media

Donald Trump is suing two co-founders of the parent company of his Truth Social platform, saying their mistakes cost him money and they should be stripped of their shares as the company goes public. The former U.S. president's lawsuit, which was filed on March 24 in Florida state court, follows a complaint filed in February by those co-founders, Andy Litinsky and Wes Moss.

Their lawsuit sought to prevent Trump from taking steps the two said would sharply reduce their combined 8.6 percent stake in Trump Media. The pair filed their lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Trump's lawsuit claims that Litinsky and Moss, who were both contestants on Trump's reality-TV show 'The Apprentice,' mishandled an attempt to take Trump Media public several years ago, allegedly putting the whole project 'on ice' for more than a year and a half. But it also targets the pair over their own Delaware suit against Trump, saying that it was one of several attempts they made to block Trump Media's ultimately successful plan to go public.

Trump Media accomplished that goal by merging with a publicly traded shell company called Digital World Acquisition in March. Company shares have fluctuated wildly since its stock market debut. On Tuesday, the stock closed at $51.60, up 6 percent, valuing the entire company at $5.9 billion.

The co-founders accused Trump Media of trying to improperly dilute their stake, while the company said they had failed to earn their shares and that it wants to strip them of their ownership. Litinsky believed that he was fired from the board because he didn't want to give over his equity - and also claimed Trump said 'multiple times' that he will 'blow up the company' if his demands weren't met.

Litinsky, the co-founder of Trump Media & Technology Group, sent an e-mail in March making the accusation, according to whistleblower Will Wilkerson. Wilkerson was in charge of the company responsible for the Trump-themed social media platform Truth Social. He was one of the first to go to work for TMTG - but fell out with the company after filing a whistleblower complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission in August 2022, according to the Washington Post.

Trump experienced a stunning paper loss of $1 billion on his Trump media stock Monday, after a filing revealed it lost $58 million last year.
