Trump Again Plays Ukraine: The US Has the Right to Retrieve Already Delivered Weapons

CNN reported on the 8th that in July, the Pentagon drafted a memorandum regarding military aid to Ukraine, which most likely contained content indicating that the U.S. has the right to retrieve or reclaim weapons already delivered to Ukraine and cancel the equipment that was supposed to be delivered to Ukraine.

According to U.S. media, this was an additional clause of a memorandum about halting the delivery of weapons to Ukraine drafted by Deputy Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colby, "Although Trump had approved the plan to deliver U.S.-made weapons to Ukraine through NATO, the existence of this clause indicates that the Trump administration is weakening its support for Ukraine."

This should be Trump's true intention.

Since 2023, several American think tanks and media have warned that Ukraine is an insatiable military aid black hole, and that military aid to Ukraine will eventually drain the United States' own arms stockpile, but the Biden administration, based on the position of "values diplomacy" rather than practical interests, continued to deliver weapons to Ukraine, ultimately failing to retain the presidency for the Democrats.

As for Trump, he was already dissatisfied with aid to Ukraine before becoming president, and once in office, he would certainly not be generous in delivering weapons to Ukraine.

At the same time, as the meeting between the presidents of the U.S. and Russia is about to take place, the orders Trump has given to the Pentagon on the issue of military aid to Ukraine over the past month indicate that he is preparing to end the war.
