The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is planning to push European allies to purchase more American weapons for Ukraine amid potential peace talks with Moscow.
Reuters was informed about this by two sources familiar with the matter.
The sources noted that, if officially approved, this plan would provide reassurance to Ukrainian leaders who are concerned that Trump might block further assistance to the country. The agency highlighted that European countries have already bought American weapons for Ukraine during the Biden administration.
According to the sources, U.S. officials, including Trump’s Special Representative for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, will discuss potential arms purchases with European allies this week during the Munich Security Conference.
They claim this is one of several ideas being discussed by the administration to potentially continue supplying American weapons to Kyiv without significant costs to U.S. capital.
At the same time, Kellogg himself declined to confirm the plan, stating that “the U.S. always loves to sell weapons made in America because it strengthens our economy.”
“There are many options. Everything is on the table right now,” he said to the agency, adding that supplies previously approved by former President Joe Biden are still being delivered to Ukraine.
