Trump Plans to Keep Providing Weapons to Ukraine, Report Says

He will also demand that NATO members start spending 5 percent of their GDPs on their military

Despite vowing to end the Ukraine War within 24 hours of taking office during his campaign, President-elect Donald Trump’s team has been telling European leadership that he intends to keep providing weapons of death to Kyiv once in office, according to a report in the Financial Times.

The paper, citing three people briefed on the discussions, reported that Trump plans to keep up the support after the inauguration. He will also demand that NATO members start spending 5 percent of their GDPs on their military – a jump from 2 percent, the report said.

Trump’s position on Ukraine has been vague, but he said numerous times during the presidential campaign that he can bring peace to the region through diplomacy.

“They’re dying, Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. And I’ll have that done… I’ll have that done in 24 hours,” Trump said during a CNN town hall in May 2023, according to the AP.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke with CNN in an interview before the U.S. election and downplayed Trump's public remarks indicating that he would force a negotiated settlement.

Zelensky told CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” that it is important to understand that “election messages are election messages. Sometimes they are not very real.”

Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s national security council, downplayed the chances of improved relations between the U.S. and Moscow if Trump was elected, saying he’s nothing more than an “establishment insider.”

TRENDPOST: Professor John Mearsheimer said in an interview last week that Trump would likely maintain the status quo in Washington and continue to support Ukraine’s war effort against Russia.

The principal cause of that is that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s demands are not something that Trump can easily accept,” he told Shanghai Eye. Trump repeated this claim during last week’s presidential debate that the war would end before he even becomes president.

Mearsheimer noted how Putin said earlier this summer that he has two demands before he even sits down for negotiations with the West: 1) the four eastern Ukrainian oblasts that Russia annexed are Russian territory; 2) Ukraine cannot join NATO and must be declared a neutral state.

Trump was asked during his earlier debate with U.S. President Joe Biden if he would agree to those preconditions, and he said he would not.

“So if he doesn’t agree to those preconditions, there will be no negotiations, and there will be no settlement,” he said.
