US President Donald Trump is weighing whether to supply Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, his vice president, JD Vance, has suggested, in what would mark a dramatic escalation in US support for Kyiv. We are having conversations this very minute about that issue,” Vance told “Fox News Sunday,” adding that Trump will make the ‘final determination’ on any transfer of the missiles, which are among the United States’ most capable long-range strike weapons.
Trump’s envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, said the same day that he believed Ukraine already had authorization to conduct deep strikes into Russian territory. “Use the ability to hit deep,” he said. There are no such things as sanctuaries.” Kellogg later clarified that he was referring only to public comments from Vance and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, not to any new, undisclosed decision from the White House. Still, the messaging suggests that either the Trump administration is actively considering sending Tomahawks, designed primarily for long-range precision strikes, or it wants Moscow to believe it is.
The shift is striking given that just 43 days ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin was photographed walking a red carpet into the presidential limousine, The Beast, during a visit to Alaska. Seven months earlier, Trump had dismissed Ukraine as a country that “had no cards.
