President Trump indicated the U.S. might assist Ukraine with more air defense systems amidst escalating Russian attacks but refrained from committing to additional military aid. He criticized President Putin for the stalled peace negotiations and acknowledged the overwhelming number of missile attacks on Ukraine. While the U.S. has sent some Patriot systems, Trump's reluctance to promise further military support highlights a divide within his party regarding continued aid to Ukraine. This situation follows the significant aid provided by the previous administration since Russia's invasion.
"We're going to see if we can make some [Patriots] available," Trump said on June 24 when asked by a reporter if he would sell air defense systems to Ukraine.
However, Trump was less categorical when asked about further U.S. military aid for Ukraine. "We'll see what happens," Trump said when asked about American defense assistance for Ukraine.
