My understanding of Pres. Trump's priorities here are:
So I'm not saying my understanding is necessarily correct, only that I've seen no reports to contradict it.
Working a peace deal between Russia & Ukraine - never happen. Putin, like Russia, arbors peace. There are no riches or power to be gained that are worth having without conquest.
European aid is fine but they are not geared to making armaments and by the time they are, Russia could well overrun Ukraine.
China is in turmoil now - there is a huge battle going on between groups for control, now that Xi Jinping has been “displaced”. The CMC is on top now, but who know who will survive the purges, investigations, arrests, and disappearances to come out on top.
Not to worry about China - fix Europe first. Else pursue a fool’s errand.

There are reports that the pipe;line never stopped - except for the munitions Ukraine needs most and can only get from the US like: Patriot and Hellfire missiles.
