🚨🇺🇸🇺🇦 Trump says the United States also needs its own missiles while expressing concern over the mounting human cost of the war in Ukraine. The president reiterated that Washington is seeking an end to the conflict despite the growing intensity of Russian attacks.
Reporter: “President Zelensky says Ukraine desperately needs Patriot air defense systems.”
President Donald Trump: “We need missiles too. Biden gave him a tremendous amount. He gave Ukraine about $300 billion worth of weapons.”
When asked about Russia’s increasing attacks on civilian targets, Trump replied:
“Look, we’re not involved in that war. There’s an ocean between us. But I hate seeing 25,000 young people dying every month in the war between Russia and Ukraine.”
“We’re working on it, and I think we’ve made some progress. It’s an incredibly brutal war. There’s a tremendous amount of hatred in that war and between those two leaders.”
Trump’s remarks underscore the administration’s effort to balance support for Ukraine with concerns over U.S. military resources, while continuing to pursue diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the conflict.
