US President-elect Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., has lashed out at the Democrats following reports that outgoing President Joe Biden has given Ukraine permission to use American-made long-range missiles to strike deep inside Russian territory.
Trump Jr., who campaigned alongside his father during the 2024 presidential election and has been helping him pick members of his future cabinet, did not mince his words on social media.
“The Military Industrial Complex seems to want to make sure they get World War 3 going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives,” he wrote on X on Sunday. “Gotta lock in those $Trillions. Life be damned!!! Imbeciles!”
The Biden administration previously restricted the use of ATACMS missiles by Ukraine, citing fears of possible retaliation by Russia. The White House, however, has decided to reverse its policy, according to reports by multiple news agencies. Neither the White House nor the Pentagon has commented on the matter.
