Trump authorizes new Ukraine US-arms purchases
(MENAFN) President Donald trump has authorized U.S. allies in Europe to purchase American-made weapons for Ukraine. However, he dismissed the idea that Russia poses a military threat to NATO, which Ukraine claims it is defending against. Trump is planning a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia to discuss a potential peace agreement. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and several EU leaders have criticized the U.S. administration's stance, arguing against a compromise-based truce and advocating for continued support for Ukraine to strengthen its position before peace talks.
During a press conference in Florida, Trump confirmed he would allow European nations to acquire U.S. arms for Ukraine but questioned the reasoning behind supporting Ukraine. He stated that he did not believe Russia posed any immediate threat to NATO, echoing Moscow's consistent denial of aggressive intentions toward the military alliance, which it views as a security threat.
Trump also denied reports that U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance had threatened military action against Russia if a peace deal wasn't reached. Vance's spokesperson dismissed these reports as false, clarifying that while Vance acknowledged military options, he did not specify any actions. At the Munich Security Conference, Vance criticized the EU and UK for stifling domestic dissent and warned that Europe could lose U.S. support if politicians continue to fear their populations instead of addressing their concerns. He also pointed out that while Europeans may agree to increase defense spending at Washington's request, it doesn’t necessarily mean their political systems are worth defending.
Moscow has long cited NATO's expansion as a key factor in the ongoing conflict, a concern that Trump seems to consider more valid than President Joe Biden, who dismisses it as an excuse for Russian imperial ambitions.
