Palm Beach (USA). US President-elect Donald Trump indicated that he may reverse President Joe Biden’s recent decision to allow Ukraine’s military to use US weapons to attack Russia’s interior. Trump last month called Biden’s decision “stupid.” He also expressed dissatisfaction that Biden did not consult the incoming administration before taking this decision. Ukraine has long wanted permission to use American weapons to attack Russian targets hundreds of miles from its border.
However, with the easing of sanctions, Biden allowed Ukraine to use US-provided ‘Army Tactical Missile Systems’ to strike into Russia’s interior. “I don’t think this should have been allowed, especially as my administration is about to take over,” Trump said during a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort. He did this without knowing what I thought about it. I don’t tell them to do that. I think it was a big mistake.”
Asked whether he would consider rolling back the Biden administration’s decision, Trump said, “Maybe.” I think it was a very foolish thing to do.” The White House (the official residence and office of the US President) hit back at Trump’s criticism, saying that the decision was made after months of deliberations, before last month’s election. Taken after discussion. White House national security spokesman John Kirby said about coordination between the current administration and the incoming administration, “I can only tell you this clearly in the conversations we have had with them at various levels since the election.” We have clearly told them the logic behind it, its purpose, why we are doing this.
