The Ukraine War slipped Monday night (Washington time) at dinner with which the president of the United States, Donald Trump, entertained the Israeli prime minister, Benjamín Netanyahu in the White House, who went to Washington with a high fire proposal on the table.

“We have to do it,” Trump said about the United States Supply to Ukraine. “They have to be able to defend themselves. They are receiving a very hard blow now.”
The US president specified later that the roughness he is thinking will be “mainly” of “defensive weapons”, because, he clarified, “many people are dying [en Ucrania] in this chaos ”.
The Trump administration justified the break of its shipments to the country attacked by Russia saying that the United States military reserves were lower than those desired by the Pentagon.

Trump and Putin spoke on Thursday for an hour, and Trump subsequently stated that “he had not achieved any progress.” “I’m not happy with President Putin,” Trump urged the press on Monday at the White House.
He also ran to insist on one of his favorite arguments, that “this [la invasión rusa de Ucrania] It is something that would never have happened ”if he had been president.
