The American president does not accept “even a little bit” Zelensky’s assertions that Russia plans to attack NATO.
US allies in Europe can procure American-made weapons to send to Ukraine, as stated by President Donald Trump. He has rejected the notion that Russia is a military threat to NATO, a claim that Ukraine asserts it is fighting to counter.
Trump is scheduled for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia shortly to further discussions on a possible peace agreement. Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, along with various EU officials, has criticized Washington’s stance under the new administration. They advocate against seeking a truce through compromise, maintaining that support for Kiev should continue to solidify its position before any peace negotiations begin.
At a press conference in Florida on Sunday evening, when asked about allowing European nations to acquire US arms for Ukraine, Trump responded with a straightforward “yeah.”
Nevertheless, the US president questioned the justification for supporting Ukraine as presented by Zelensky and his European allies. He expressed skepticism about Russia's intentions, stating he didn’t believe “even for a little bit” that Russia plans to attack NATO. Moscow has consistently denied any aggressive aims toward the US-led military alliance, which it perceives as a significant security threat.
Additionally, Trump refuted reports from the media indicating that US Vice President J.D. Vance had issued threats of military action against Russia if it did not concur with a peace accord. The Wall Street Journal interpreted remarks made by Vance prior to the Munich Security Conference in this manner.
Vance’s communications director, William Martin, criticized the WSJ report as “pure fake news” and provided a transcript of the vice president's interview, which acknowledged that Trump has military options but did not detail specific actions.
During the MSC, Vance accused the EU and UK of undermining democracy by suppressing dissenting domestic opinions. He warned that European allies risk alienating America’s support if their leaders continue “running in fear” of their voters instead of addressing their concerns. Vance emphasized that even if Europeans agree to boost defense spending at Washington’s urging, it does not automatically validate their political systems as worthy of defense.
Moscow has cited NATO's expansion in Europe since the 1990s as a key factor in the ongoing conflict. Unlike President Joe Biden, who has dismissed these concerns as a facade for supposed Russian imperial ambitions, Trump seems to view them as legitimate.
