Trump Clarifies Stance on Ukraine Conflict
(MENAFN) US President Donald Trump has clarified that his latest warnings to Russia and his pledge to supply arms to Ukraine should not be interpreted as him aligning with one party in the ongoing war.
Speaking to journalists, Trump emphasized that his stance was not indicative of him being “on Ukraine’s side.”
Earlier this week, the American leader expressed strong dissatisfaction with Moscow, stating he was “very, very unhappy” with Russia.
He issued a stern warning of potentially “severe” secondary tariffs that could reach as high as 100%, should diplomatic efforts fail to produce results within 50 days.
In addition, he revealed that sophisticated military equipment would soon be sent to Ukraine, with financial backing from European members of NATO.
During a press briefing the following day, Trump reaffirmed his neutral position, explaining that he remains committed to a peaceful solution.
“You know the side I’m on? Humanity’s side. I want to stop the killing of thousands of people a week. I want to stop the killing. I want the killing to stop in the Ukraine-Russia war. That’s the side I’m on,” he stated.
He went on to note that while he has played a key role in resolving various global disputes over the past three months, this particular war remains unresolved.
He stressed that it began during President Biden’s administration, saying, “This is a Biden war. It’s not a Trump war. I’m here to try and get us out of that mess,” according to a news agency.
