In the press conference prior to the meeting at the White House, Zelensky said in front of reporters that Ukraine could supply the US with fears in exchange for Tomahawk missiles. But Trump said sending “Tomahaws” could lead to a escalation. These guns are excellent, but very dangerous.

The Ukrainian government had announced prior to the meeting that Kiev hopes sending Tomahawk and other American weapons missiles will be the most important topic of the meeting between Trump and Zelenski. But after a call with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin, Trump said that the US itself needs these weapons systems.
