Trump delays Tomahawk missile sales to Ukraine to avoid escalation.
U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that he is currently not considering the sale of long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, despite Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s request. Trump’s reluctance stems from a desire to avoid escalating the conflict with Russia, as the missiles have the capability to strike deep within Russian territory. Discussions regarding this issue took place with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who noted that the matter remains under review, emphasizing that the ultimate decision lies with the United States. This development reflects the ongoing tension in U.S.-Russia relations and highlights the complexities in military support for Ukraine amidst concerns of further escalation in the region.
