Donald Trump, the designated US President, criticized the Biden administration's decision to allow Ukraine to use US-supplied ATACMS long-range missiles to strike deep into Russian territory. In an interview with Axios, he described this approval as 'foolish' and the 'most dangerous thing,' expressing concerns that it escalates the conflict and makes the war worse. Trump vehemently opposes sending missiles hundreds of miles into Russia, questioning, 'Why are we doing that?' and stating, 'It's crazy what's taking place.' Despite his criticisms, Trump vowed 'not to abandon' Ukraine but suggested the need for a policy change.
