Trump Signals Near Decision on Tomahawks for Ukraine as U.S. Weighs Deep-Strike Support

Trump ties any approval to prior knowledge of Ukrainian strike targets.

Overview

  • The president said he has "more or less" made a decision on Tomahawk transfers but emphasized he is not seeking escalation.
  • U.S. officials previously confirmed the administration is considering supplying Tomahawk cruise missiles, with delivery terms still under negotiation.
  • The Wall Street Journal reported the United States would provide intelligence for strikes deep inside Russia, including against energy infrastructure.
  • Vladimir Putin warned such deliveries would be dangerous for U.S.-Russia relations and claimed Tomahawk use would require direct involvement of U.S. officers.
  • Reports also discuss potential routing through NATO partners and raise other long-range options such as ERAM and JASSM/JASSM-ER, with Tomahawk ranges of roughly 1,500 to 2,500 kilometers.
