The report by the Wall Street Journal is “FAKE NEWS,” the US president has said
US President Donald Trump has rejected claims by the Wall Street Journal that his administration has allowed Ukraine to launch Western-supplied weapons deep into Russian territory.
The WSJ reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed US officials, that the Trump administration “lifted a key restriction” on Kiev’s use of long-range munitions provided by Western European countries for strikes inside Russia.
According to the outlet, the policy shift occurred in early October and coincided with Trump’s announcement that he might deliver Tomahawk cruise missiles, which have a maximum range of around 2,500km (1,550 miles), to Ukraine.
In a post on Truth Social later in the day, Trump described the Wall Street Journal story as “FAKE NEWS.”
“The US has nothing to do with those missiles, wherever they may come from, or what Ukraine does with them,” he said.
