U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he is not currently considering any agreement that would allow Ukraine to acquire long-range Tomahawk missiles for use against Russia.
Trump has shown little enthusiasm for a proposal in which the United States would sell Tomahawk missiles to NATO allies who could then transfer them to Ukraine, saying he wants to avoid actions that could further escalate the conflict. His latest remarks, made aboard Air Force One, underscored that stance.
When asked by reporters whether he was considering such a deal, Trump replied, “No, not really,” as he travelled from Palm Beach, Florida, to Washington, adding that he might change his position later.
He and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte had discussed the idea during their 22 October meeting at the White House. Rutte said on Friday the issue was still under consideration, but that the final call rested with Washington.
The Tomahawk cruise missiles have a range of about 2,500 kilometres (1,550 miles), capable of reaching targets deep within Russian territory, including Moscow. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has requested the weapons, while the Kremlin has cautioned that any supply of Tomahawks to Ukraine would be viewed as a dangerous escalation.
