America first. The president of the United States, Donald Trump, expressed this Sunday his misgivings about the possibility of delivering long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine understanding that such an operation would represent a danger to the security of his country.
It should be remembered that the president of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin, has warned that such a surrender would bury any option to negotiate peace in Ukraine and put an end to the Russian invasion.
“I am looking into this matter,” Trump has indicated in statements to Fox News, “and I have discussed it with Putin: it is not that he is exactly delighted with this situation.”
Trump has gone on to explain that his reluctance also revolves around the limited capacity of his arsenals. “We also need them. I can’t give Ukraine all our weapons, I can’t put the United States in danger”he added.
As the peace talks progress, Trump has once again assumed that Putin will keep part or all of the territories conquered since the invasion. “He is going to keep things. He has fought and seized property. The only country that gains territory and then leaves is us, as happened with Bush,” Trump said in relation to the Iraq war.
The Ukrainian president calls for a tougher hand
The president of , Volodimir Zelenski, has also appeared before the North American media once his meeting with Trump and his advisors, which began last Friday, concluded. to reiterate his request to the American president and toughen his stance towards Putin.
“Putin is very similar to Hamas, but stronger,” said Zelensky, who has compared the Russian president to the Palestinian Islamist movement. Gaza, it should be remembered, is currently under ceasefire in part due to the pressure exerted by the president.
