Trump is preparing to lift restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range weapons to strike Russia
According to the Wall Street Journal, on the 26th, the US president has told Zelenskyy that he is willing to allow the use of US-made long-range weapons to strike targets within Russia.
However, Trump did not commit to implementing this decision during Tuesday's meeting.
Comments: Trump's statement that he "is willing to consider" lifting the restrictions on Ukraine's use of US-made long-range weapons to strike targets within Russia breaks with his government's previous hardline stance, showing a subtle adjustment in its policy toward Ukraine. However, the wording of "not making a clear commitment" retains policy flexibility and is not a substantive shift. This statement is more of a strategic move: it responds to Zelenskyy's long-standing demand for long-range weapons, but may also be a signal released in political or international negotiations, rather than a genuine push to escalate the conflict. Although Russia has warned that this move would "amount to NATO's participation in the war" and has responded with nuclear deterrence, there are risks of escalating the conflict. However, due to the core goal of the Trump administration to avoid excessive consumption, it remains highly doubtful whether the ban will actually be lifted later.
