🇺🇸🇺🇦 US President Trump on the potential deliveries of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine:

"I've sort of made a decision, pretty much, if you consider. Yeah, I think I want to find out what they're doing with him. You know, where are they sending them. I guess I'd have to ask that question."

🇺🇸🇺🇦 President Trump on Tomahawk missiles for Ukraine

Q: "Have you made a decision on whether to supply Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine?"

A: "Yeah, I've sort of made a decision. Pretty much... If you consider... I think I want to find out what they're doing with them. [...] I'm not looking to see escalation."

I don't see how people are taking from this answer that his decision is yes. This seems like a classic maybe from Trump. His response certainly leaves the door open and is far more positive than the immediate dismissals that were common from President Biden, but it's far from an unambiguous yes.

@NOELreports: I think it’s not actually a decision, he is still considering. If they really want to stretch this out, they can say they made the decision to sell them for eventual supply to Ukraine, then get Europe to fund one Typhoon system, and that would take 2 years or more to be built, then Ukraine will get 50 missiles after the 2 years.

The whole thing will be pointless.

Or they can take the quick route, supply Ukraine with 4 to 6 JTLV Tomahawk launchers, and +200 Tomahawk missiles, and Ukraine could be launching Tomahawks within 2 months. But knowing Trump he is always considering and never doing.

The best thing to do, would be to supply Ukraine with hundreds of ATACMS, which the US does not need. And also supply them with hundreds of JASSM cruise missiles and some JASSM-ER. Then that will quickly change the tide of the war in Ukraine, but there hasn’t been a word about more ATACMS or JASSM for Ukraine. Only Tomahawks which could take years because it would be slow walked.

I think it’s not actually a decision by Trump, he is still considering and has questions about them. If they really want to stretch this out, the US can announce they made the decision to sell Tomahawks for eventual supply to Ukraine, then get Europe to fund one Typhoon launching system, and that would take 2 years or more to be built, then Ukraine will get 50 missiles after the 2 years.

The whole thing will be pointless.

Or they can take the quick route, supply Ukraine with 4 to 5 JTLV Tomahawk launchers, and +200 Tomahawk missiles, and Ukraine could be launching Tomahawks within 2-3 months. But knowing Trump he is always considering and never doing.

The best thing to do, would be to supply Ukraine with hundreds of ATACMS, which the US does not need, and supply Ukraine with hundreds of JASSM cruise missiles and some JASSM-ER.

Then that will quickly change the tide of the war in Ukraine, but there hasn’t been a word about more ATACMS or JASSM for Ukraine. Only Tomahawks which could take years because it could be slow walked. Ukraine could be launching dozens of ATACMS deep into Russia within a week, but the US hasn’t sent any ATACMS for a year.

@WarMonitor3: Actually, Trump said “I sort of made a decision, pretty much, if you consider... Yeah. I think I want to find out what they're doing with them. You know, where they're sending them. I guess I have to ask that question.” 🤡

So that is not a concrete decision, sale, or aid package
