Donald Trump Now Owns the Ukraine War
“It’s not my war.” —Donald Trump (on board Air Force One on April 25)
President Donald Trump has said repeatedly that the Ukraine War is Joe Biden’s, not his. But now the Ukraine war belongs to Trump. He can no longer deny ownership.
President Donald Trump’s administration has reportedly approved its first weapons sale to Ukraine since the start of his second term, with plans to authorize direct commercial exports valued at $50 million or more.
The move was first reported by Kyiv Post, citing diplomatic sources, and later confirmed through congressional records.
According to the report, the U.S. administration formally notified Congress on April 30 of its intention to allow the sale of military goods to Ukraine under the Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) program. This mechanism permits U.S. defense companies to negotiate arms exports directly with foreign governments, pending approval from the State Department.
Kyiv Post said the proposed sale would include military-designated goods, technical data, and related defense services. The approval was made under the Arms Export Control Act, which mandates notification to Congress for defense sales exceeding certain thresholds.
Additional confirmation came from European Pravda, which cited documentation available on the official U.S. Congress website. A record listed an entry dated April 29, cataloged as EC-859, referencing a memo from the State Department’s legal office to the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
The memo notifies Congress of “a proposed license for the export of defense articles, including technical data, and defense services to Ukraine for an amount of $50 million or more,” in compliance with U.S. export control laws.
This transaction represents the first defense-related export authorization to Ukraine under President Trump’s current administration.
While details of the specific equipment or systems involved have not been disclosed, the timing suggests a shift toward greater military support amid ongoing regional instability.
By the same token, the Israeli genocide in Gaza is now Trump’s genocide. This man who was elected president on the promise of ending America’s “stupid wars” (his words) is neck-deep in the continuation and escalation of these wars.
Per Trump’s wars on behalf of Israel comes this report:
The Israeli military is set to receive a “major new weapons shipment” from the US in the coming weeks to help prepare it for continued operations in Gaza and a potential attack on Iran, the Israeli news site Ynet reported on Monday.
The details of the arms shipment are unclear, but Ynet said it would include 3,000 munitions for Israel’s Air Force. The report said the bomb shipment was recently approved by the Trump administration.
The Pentagon’s Defense Cooperation Agency said on Monday that the State Department approved a $180 million arms deal for Eitan Powerpack Engines
