Trump Says No Tomahawk Missiles for Ukraine Now
The President of the United States said he is not planning to send long-range missiles called Tomahawks to Ukraine right now.
These missiles can travel a very long distance to hit targets.
Reporters asked him about this because the military has plenty of these missiles.
Russia has warned that sending these weapons would make the conflict much worse.
When asked what would make him change his mind or send them, the President said there isn't a specific thing that would trigger it, suggesting sometimes conflicts need to be resolved through fighting.
He also mentioned he is not involved in discussions about using frozen Russian money to help with the situation.
President Trump stated he is not currently considering providing Ukraine with Tomahawk cruise missiles.
The Tomahawk missile is a long-range weapon capable of traveling 1,600 to 2,500 kilometers.
Reports indicated the Pentagon has sufficient Tomahawk inventory available.
Russia has warned that supplying these missiles would represent a significant escalation of the conflict.
Trump expressed that there is no specific 'final straw' that would compel him to send the missiles, suggesting some conflicts need to be fought out.
