U.S. President Donald Trump has said his administration is considering supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk or similar missiles to strengthen the country’s defense capabilities and encourage Russia to come to the negotiating table.
Trump made the statement on Friday in response to questions from reporters ahead of his talks with Zelensky at the White House.
When asked by an Ukrinform correspondent whether Washington might provide Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles or similar systems to equalize the possibilities of Ukraine and Russia and push Moscow toward negotiations, Trump replied, “Yes, sure. We are going to be talking about that. That’s why we’re here. That’s a fair question.”
