US presidential candidate Donald Trump said that the US ammunition stores are “empty” because of the generous aid provided to Ukraine.
“We have no more ammunition right now,” Trump told a rally of his supporters in North Carolina. “You know, we gave it all to Ukraine and other countries. We gave them all our stockpiles and our stockpiles are empty.”
Republican member of the US House of Representatives, member of the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees in the US House of Representatives, Mike Waltz, who is participating in Trump’s election campaign, had previously stated that “Trump,” if he wins the elections, “will demand that European allies bear the brunt of the burden in terms of supporting Ukraine.”
“Donald Trump, the former US president and Republican presidential candidate, has a ‘comprehensive strategy to bring Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table’ with the aim of ending the Ukrainian conflict,” Michael Waltz added.
Speaking to Sputnik on the sidelines of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Waltz said, “Trump has a clear plan to push the two sides toward reasonable diplomatic talks that seek to resolve the ongoing crisis between Russia and Ukraine.”
Waltz noted that “Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance has already stated that he intends to ‘not give a single penny’ to the Ukrainians.”
It is noteworthy that the United States has been the largest supporter of Ukraine since the start of the Russian military operation in February 2022, as Washington has allocated more than $174 billion to support Kiev militarily and economically. Trump has previously stated that if he is re-elected, he intends to reach a solution to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, within just 24 hours!
