Trump on Ukraine missile aid
Former U.S. President Donald Trump said he is not currently considering sending long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine.
“US President Donald Trump stated that he is not currently considering providing Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles but did not rule out the possibility in the future.”
He repeatedly framed the move as an escalation risk while leaving the door open to change later.
Asian outlets emphasize his caution and conditional openness.
News18 reports he is "not currently considering providing Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles but did not rule out the possibility."
The Indian Express similarly notes he is "not currently considering a deal," citing his fear of "escalating the conflict."
Firstpost echoes that he is "not planning" to provide the weapons "although he left open the possibility that this could change."
The Kyiv Independent places Trump’s stance within a wider set of remarks on Russia and China and states plainly that "Trump stated he does not plan to provide Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles."
Tomahawk Missile Transfer Debate
The Indian Express details a proposal for the U.S. to sell missiles to NATO partners who would then transfer them to Kyiv. News18 reports that Trump dismissed such reports and discussed the issue with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Firstpost adds that the Pentagon reportedly has adequate stock if approved and highlights Trump’s remark that there is "no final straw."
The report also mentions Russia’s warning about major escalation. The Kyiv Independent and Asian outlets note Moscow’s objections to the missile transfers. Trump says he is trying to avoid fueling the war.
