Trump Says He ‘Vehemently’ Disagrees With US-Backed Long-Range Missile Strikes on Russia
President-elect Donald Trump has said that he “vehemently” disagrees with the US supporting long-range missile strikes inside Russian territory, which President Biden authorized last month.
“I disagree very vehemently with sending missiles hundreds of miles into Russia. Why are we doing that?” Trump said in an interview with Time Magazine for an issue that named him Person of the Year.
“We’re just escalating this war and making it worse. That should not have been allowed to be done,” Trump added.
Biden took the step to support Ukrainian strikes on Russia using US ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles even after Moscow made clear it would risk a nuclear escalation.
