Trump slams Biden’s decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine, catastrophic conflict

By · July 13, 2023 · 2 min read

Former President Donald Trump has criticized President Joe Biden’s recent decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine, stating that it could potentially lead the United States into a catastrophic conflict.

Trump, known for challenging established thinking, believes that Biden should focus on ending the war rather than escalating it further.

Trump expressed his concerns in a statement, declaring that Biden’s actions are dragging the American people into a potential World War III.

He argues that instead of sending cluster bombs, Biden should prioritize ending the conflict and preventing further loss of life caused by an incompetent administration.

Trump warns that the unexploded cluster munitions could pose a threat to innocent Ukrainian civilians for years to come.

Biden and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken have acknowledged that Ukraine is facing ammunition shortages after 500 days of war.

Biden explained that the decision to transfer the cluster bombs was a difficult one, made after discussions with allies and politicians in Washington.

However, Trump points out that if Ukraine is indeed running out of ammunition, it further emphasizes the urgency of de-escalating the conflict immediately.

Trump also highlights the risk of depleting the United States’ own stockpiles if they are already at dangerously low levels, as admitted by Biden.

He criticizes the billions of dollars sent to Ukraine, which he believes have weakened the United States significantly.

In conclusion, Trump argues that Biden’s actions are needlessly and dangerously leading the country toward a nightmare scenario of destruction in a potential World War III.
