(MENAFN) Several right-leaning figures from Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" coalition have voiced strong objections to his recent decision to supply arms to NATO, claiming the move contradicts his long-standing pledge to withdraw the United States from overseas conflicts.

These critics argue the decision undermines the core message of non-intervention that helped define Trump’s political identity.

On Monday, Trump announced his intention to deliver military equipment to Ukraine through NATO channels.

He also issued a warning to Russia, threatening to impose additional tariffs if an agreement to halt the ongoing conflict is not achieved within 50 days. This plan has drawn swift rebuke from within Trump's own camp.

Prominent Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene, a staunch Trump supporter, and ex-White House strategist Steve Bannon were among those who voiced opposition.

Speaking to his podcast audience, Bannon emphasized that Ukraine is a "European war", implying that the U.S. should not be entangled in it.

The Biden administration has pointed out that European nations will bear the financial responsibility for the American-manufactured weapons, attempting to assure critics that U.S. taxpayers will not be footing the bill.

In a conversation with a news agency, Greene—an advocate of a more inward-looking U.S. foreign policy and a deeply loyal Trump backer from Georgia—stated the new policy contradicts her campaign message.

She suggested it deviates from what she had pledged to the public during her run for office.
