The United States has decided to relax missile controls concerning Ukraine, a move influenced by North Korea's involvement in the Ukraine war and Donald Trump's recent electoral victory. Biden aides view this easing of controls as part of a strategy to 'Trump-proof' U.S. policy towards Ukraine. This change in policy may allow U.S. allies to utilize their weapons in new capacities, reflecting a significant shift in the U.S. approach to the ongoing conflict.
