According to the Washington Post, citing three people with knowledge on the matter, the Pentagon is considering diverting military aid for Ukraine to the Middle East, amidst the munitions intensive conflict with Iran. The munitions would included interceptor missiles bound for Ukraine through a NATO program where countries supplied military aid to Ukraine by buying U.S. weapons for them. No decision has been made yet on the matter. This comes less than 24 hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked the U.S. for continuing to supply military aid to Ukraine despite the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

But we don't want to get dragged into their wars either. One thing, we're very disappointed, I'll say it publicly, we're very disappointed with NATO.โ€

President Trump on negotiations with Iran: โ€œI mean, the problem with the issue of the Hormuz Straits is this: We've decimated them as a military. No air force, no navy, very few rockets left. We blew up so many. Hard to manufacture them. Same thing with drones. The leadership is gone. The problem with the Straits is this: Let's say we do a great job. We say we got 99%. 1% is unacceptable, because 1% is a missile going into the hull of a ship that cost a billion dollars, right? So 1% is not... If we do a 99% decimation, that's no good. So it's really, you know... I have a feeling it's going to clean up pretty quickly. I could just say this. They want to make -- they want to make -- and I probably hurt our little negotiation. It gives them a little impetus to say, โ€˜Well, I wish you didn't say that.โ€™ But they said yesterday that we weren't negotiating with them, and now they admit that we were negotiating with them. So they want to make a deal. The reason they want to make a deal is they have been just beat to shit.โ€
