What Trump said about selling American weapons to Ukraine

The US leader emphasized that the approach has changed and things now operate differently compared to the administration of former President Joe Biden.

"It's different from what it was before with Biden. He gave Ukraine $350 billion in weapons and cash directly into their hands. And that was very foolish, but we sell it to NATO. And theoretically, you can do whatever you want with it. It doesn't necessarily have to be Ukraine, but it probably is, for the most part," Trump said.
