Earlier today we reported on President Trump’s announcement that he is going to sell NATO military equipment and weapons, with much of it destined for Ukraine.

Now we know some detail of what is being sent, according to Axios:

President Trump announced Monday that the U.S. will dramatically increase weapons supplies to European allies, with those countries then sending arms to Ukraine.

A source familiar with the plans tells Axios the U.S. will sell around $10 billion in weapons to NATO allies in the first wave.

The supplies ultimately bound for Ukraine include missiles, air defense weaponry and artillery shells.

This is a seismic policy shift from Trump, who originally refused to side with Ukraine and until very recently insisted he would only supply defensive weapons so as not to escalate the war.

The scheme for European countries to pay for U.S.-made weapons that will be sent to Ukraine was proposed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during the NATO summit two weeks ago.

As Trump grew increasingly frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin, particularly after their fruitless July 3 phone call, the idea started to turn into a reality.

Rutte said Trump had called him on Thursday and said he’d decided that Ukraine should have what it needs to defend itself, but that he wanted Europeans to pay for it.

The secretary general mentioned Germany, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the U.K., the Netherlands and Canada as countries that already expressed interest.

He added that the U.S. will maintain the stockpiles it needs for its other global missions.

I’m glad Trump isn’t just handing over $10 billions in weapons directly to Ukraine, like Biden did so many times. This way, if Zelenskyy wastes it or does something corrupt, America will at least get their money’s worth from it so that American taxpayers aren’t on the hook for it.
