NEW YORK, September 24, TASS. American taxpayers are gaining an advantage from the new weapons shipments to Ukraine, as the armaments are no longer being donated but are being paid for by NATO countries, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated during an interview with Fox News.
"The [US] President [Donald Trump] has said that we are going to continue selling weapons to NATO and NATO and Ukraine can choose how to use those weapons," she said.
"But the way that this weapon arrangement has now taken place under President Trump is putting America first, because we are selling these weapons to Ukraine and to NATO, and NATO is back filling those weapons to Ukraine, so the American taxpayer is benefiting from this. That's a change and a shift in position from the [previous Joe] Biden administration," Leavitt clarified.
Earlier, Trump stated that the United States would continue its arms supplies to NATO countries.
