Trump Denies U.S. Approval of Ukraine's Long-Range Missile Use

President Trump refuted claims about the U.S. approving Ukraine's use of long-range missiles into Russia. He stated that the U.S. is not involved in the missiles or their use by Ukraine. This comes after a Wall Street Journal report suggesting the opposite, which Trump insists is inaccurate.

In a firm statement on Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump denied reports claiming that the American government had authorized Ukraine to deploy long-range missiles that could reach deep into Russian territory. Releasing his comment on Truth Social, Trump emphasized that "the U.S. has nothing to do with those missiles."

The controversy arises from a Wall Street Journal article that cited unnamed U.S. officials, suggesting that Trump's administration had relaxed its restrictions on Ukraine's missile capabilities, provided by Western countries. According to Trump, this report misrepresents the U.S.'s involvement.

Trump criticized the Journal's narrative vehemently, reiterating that the U.S. was neither connected to the origins of the missiles nor to Ukraine's use of them. This statement seeks to clarify America's stance amid rising concerns over missile activities in the region.
