US President Donald Trump said he cannot endanger the United States by supplying weapons to Ukraine if it undermines American interests.
"You know, we can't give all of our weapons to Ukraine. We just can't do that. And I've been very good to President Zelensky and to Ukraine, but we can't give, you know, if we're going to be short, I don't want to do that. I can't jeopardize the United States," Trump said.
Trump said there is “great potential for trade,” and that he hopes for a resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.
“Right now we have a war, but there’s great potential for trade, and I hope we’ll succeed,” he said, commenting on efforts to reach a settlement in Ukraine.
Trump once again confirmed that the United States itself needs Tomahawk cruise missiles, amid requests for their supply from Ukraine.
US Will Not Send Troops to Gaza Strip
Donald Trump confirmed in an interview out on Sunday that the United States would not send troops to the Gaza Strip to disarm Palestinian group Hamas.

"We won’t have boots on the ground. There is no reason to," he said.

Trump Says Additional 100% Tariff on China Not Sustainable, But Beijing ‘Forced Him’
US President Donald Trump said that imposing an additional 100% tariff on China would not be sustainable for the US economy, but Beijing has forced Washington to take this measure, and the countries need to strike a fair trade deal in order to have a good relationship in the future.
"It's not sustainable, but that's what the number is… They forced me to do that," Trump said.
Although China and the United States have always had a great relationship, China has been "ripping the US off" for years, Trump said, adding that the US needs a fair trade deal.
He also expressed his intent to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss the matter further.
"We'll see what happens with China… We are going to meet in a couple of weeks. We are going to meet in South Korea, actually, with President Xi and other people too. We have a separate meeting set up," Trump said.
