In a comment to reporters on Thursday evening, Trump claims that the former president Joe Biden "emptied" the US arms depots through support to Ukraine in Russia's war of aggression.
We must ensure that we have enough for ourselves, he says.
Trump, who spoke on the phone with Russia's Vladimir Putin earlier in the evening, hinted at the same time that he does not completely cut off American support to Ukraine.
We have given so many weapons. We are working with them and trying to help them.
It was earlier in the week that the US announced that some arms deliveries to Ukraine promised during Biden's time would be stopped, with the motivation that the American arms depots have decreased too much.
