President Donald Trump revealed that the United States would be sending “more weapons” to Ukraine, explaining that they are “getting hit very hard.”
During a dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump was asked if he was “planning to send more weapons to Ukraine.”
Trump’s comments come after the Trump administration announced at the beginning of the month that it was pausing shipments of certain weapons to Ukraine, according to the Washington Post.
Per the outlet, White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly explained “last week that the Defense Department” made the decision to halt weapons shipments “after a review found American military stockpiles to be low”:
Trump said the shipment would include “defensive weapons primarily,” remarking that “so many people are dying in that mess.” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said last week that the Defense Department decided to halt some shipments to Ukraine after a review found American military stockpiles to be low.
