Trump says ‘No, not really’ to US plan selling Tomahawks to Ukraine

Trump says ‘No, not really’ to US plan selling Tomahawks to Ukraine

Post by : Rameen Ariff

US President Donald Trump has indicated that he is not currently considering a plan to sell Tomahawk missiles to NATO allies who could, in turn, transfer them to Ukraine. The proposal, which has been under discussion among Western leaders, aims to strengthen Ukraine’s long-range strike capability against Russia.

However, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday while returning to Washington from Palm Beach, Florida, Trump dismissed the idea. When asked if he was open to such a deal, he replied, “No, not really.” He added that he might reconsider in the future but emphasized his reluctance to escalate the conflict.

Trump’s remarks come after his October 22 meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House, during which the Tomahawk proposal was reportedly discussed. Rutte later stated that the matter was still under review, stressing that the final decision rests with the United States.

The Tomahawk cruise missile, known for its precision and long range of up to 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles), could potentially reach deep inside Russian territory, including Moscow. This capability has raised concerns about escalating tensions between Washington and Moscow.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has formally requested access to the missiles, citing the need to strengthen Ukraine’s defense and deterrence capabilities amid ongoing Russian aggression. However, the Kremlin has issued a stern warning, saying that any transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine would be viewed as a serious provocation.

For now, Trump appears to be maintaining a cautious stance, signaling that his administration is not ready to take steps that might expand the scope of the war. His comments underline a broader approach focused on avoiding direct confrontation with Russia, even as Washington continues to provide military and humanitarian aid to Kyiv.

As global tensions persist, analysts suggest that Trump’s decision reflects both strategic restraint and a desire to keep diplomatic options open, while NATO leaders await further clarity on the future of the proposed missile deal.
