Under Biden, Zelenskyy was given many Patriots and Tomahawks, but wasn’t made to pay for them — Trump

Trump says Biden gave Zelenskyy Tomahawks.

U.S. President Donald Trump believes that the decline in U.S. ammunition stocks is linked to aid provided to Ukraine during the Biden administration.

The leader of the U.S. stated this in an interview with Newsmax, according to Censor.NET.

According to Trump, ammunition stockpiles have fallen "below desirable levels" because the United States has used up certain types of ammunition.

However, the reason is not the war with Iran, but the actions of the Biden administration.

"They gave him... they gave them—I call him (Zelenskyy. — Ed.) P.T. Barnum — they gave P.T. Barnum (an American showman, businessman, and politician known for promoting famous hoaxes and founding the Barnum & Bailey Circus. — Ed.), that is, Zelenskyy, a huge number of "Patriots," "Tomahawks," everything. And they didn’t make him pay," Trump said.

As is well known, there has been no public confirmation of the transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine under the Biden administration.

Negotiations between Ukraine and the U.S. on the transfer of Tomahawk missiles

On October 6, Trump stated that he had, to a certain extent, decided to supply Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, while emphasizing that he did not want an escalation and, before making a final decision, wanted to know the specific targets for their use and their flight paths.
Earlier, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance confirmed that Washington is discussing the possibility of supplying Tomahawk missiles, but the final decision rests with Trump. Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga reported that during a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, the presidents of Ukraine and the U.S. touched on the issue of lifting the ban on arms supplies.
On October 8, Zelenskyy told reporters that during their meeting at the White House on August 18, Trump did not refuse the request regarding the Tomahawk missiles. On October 10, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that if these missiles were supplied, Moscow would respond by strengthening its air defense system.
On October 13, Trump said that the U.S. might send Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine if Putin refused to reach a settlement. On October 16, the presidents of the U.S. and Russia held a phone call, during which, according to Trump, Putin did not like the idea of supplying the missiles.
On October 17, during a meeting in Washington, Zelenskyy confirmed that Trump had not said an unequivocal "no," but had not given a direct "yes" either. On October 20, Zelenskyy noted that European leaders are considering asking Trump to allow Ukraine to use Tomahawk missiles.
On October 31, it was reported that the Pentagon had given the White House the "green light" to transfer long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine after determining that this would not have a negative impact on U.S. stockpiles. The final political decision rests with Trump.
However, as early as the beginning of November, Trump stated that he was not currently considering the possibility of supplying Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine.
