Trump Hesitant to Give Ukraine Missiles, Pushing for Cease-Fire With Russia
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine pressed the Trump administration on Friday for long-range missiles to strike deep within Russia. Trump is proposing more negotiations between Zelensky and President Vladimir Putin in the coming weeks.
“The United States is a very strong production, and the United States has Tomahawks and other missiles, very strong missiles, but they can have our thousands of drones. That’s where we can work together, where we can strengthen American production.” “So we have a lot of different weapons. And I have an obligation also, though, to make sure that we’re completely stocked up as a country, because you never know what’s going to happen. So we’re going to be talking about Tomahawks and would much rather have them not need Tomahawks, would much rather have the war be over.” “These two leaders do not like each other. And we want to make it comfortable for everybody. So one way or the other we’ll be involved in threes, but it may be separated.” “President Trump is really showed for the war that he can manage cease-fire in Middle East. And that’s why I hope that he will do this. And we will also have such big success for Ukraine. It’s a big chance. And I hope that President Trump can manage it.”
