Former Vice President Mike Pence welcomed Donald Trump's tougher position on Russia, attributing it to decreased influence from GOP isolationists. He voiced concerns over halted U.S. weapons shipments to Ukraine, raised by recent reports of decisions made without presidential knowledge. Pence emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine, advocating for both defensive and offensive capabilities to ensure military effectiveness. He expressed confidence that President Trump would investigate the decision-making process regarding the arms shipments and communicate support to Ukraine's leaders.
Well, when you've served at the level I've served at, it's a big government. And a lot of people in your agencies and in departments are making decisions all the time. But that one was troubling to me.
I will say, and I say respectfully to the president, if he's looking on, it's not just about defensive weapons. We've got to continue to provide President Zelensky and the Ukrainian military with the offensive capability.
