Trump suggests possible support of the Tomahawk rocket
The visit comes when Trump indicated that the US is considering the supply of Ukraine by long Tomahawk missiles that could be used to achieve goals within Russia.
“Maybe not, but we can do it,” Trump said on Monday in Air Force One. “I think it is advisable to raise – yeah, I want. I want to see how the war settled.”
Trump also confirmed the discussion with the Green missiles at the weekend: “We’ll see,” he said.
Russian leaders warned against providing weapons. President Vladimir Putin said that such a step would mean a “qualitatively new phase of escalation”, while former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned: “It could end for all and especially Trump.”
