US President Donald Trump plans to sell weapons to NATO allies on the condition that they then deliver them to Ukraine, Axios reports , citing its sources.

“The US president is supplying defensive weapons to NATO. NATO can decide what to do with them. We are not supplying weapons to Ukraine,” said one of the American officials.

According to the publication’s interlocutors, the scheme was proposed at a recent NATO summit and discussed with Ukraine and European allies.

At the same time, according to sources, the sales may include offensive weapons, not just air defense systems.

One European official confirmed that such a scheme had been discussed, but said his government was not aware of any final plan.

However, none of the sources have yet provided details about when and how these plans will be implemented.

Trump is also considering a sanctions package against Russia initiated by Senator Lindsey Graham.

“However, a White House official told Axios that Trump would not sign it unless it gave him “100% flexibility” to impose and lift sanctions at his discretion,” the publication notes.Advertising

Trump and weapons for Ukraine

Earlier, Reuters reported that Trump, for the first time in his second term, plans to use his presidential powers to supply weapons to Ukraine . The total value of the weapons may be about $300 million.

Later, in an interview with NBC, Trump revealed that the US would supply weapons to Ukraine through NATO.

“We supply weapons to NATO, and NATO pays for these weapons 100%. Thus, the weapons that are sent are directed to NATO, and then NATO supplies these weapons (to Ukraine), and NATO pays for these weapons,” the head of the White House explained.

        • Go Trump? Huh?

          “However, a White House official told Axios that Trump would not sign it unless it gave him “100% flexibility” to impose and lift sanctions at his discretion,” the publication notes”.
          Congress has a veto proof majority on this bill, who gives a shit what Trump threatens.

          And then we have this quote which tells me that MAGA isn’t dead yet just worried about optics. The epitome of spineless worms.

          “The US president is supplying defensive weapons to NATO. NATO can decide what to do with them. We are not supplying weapons to Ukraine,” said one of the American officials.

  1. “The US president is supplying defensive weapons to NATO. NATO can decide what to do with them. We are not supplying weapons to Ukraine,”

    We still want to make deals with the genocidal war criminal after the war ends. This is fucking despicable by the TACO and his admin. TACO also wants full control over any sanctions, which means none will ever be implemented.
