'I want to find out what they're doing with them' — Trump mulls sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine

"President Donald Trump said on Oct. 6 that he has "sort of made a decision" on whether to

supply Ukraine with Tomahawk long-range missiles.
"I think I want to find out what they're doing with them, where they're sending them, I guess. I have to ask that question," Trump mused to reporters in the Oval Office.
The missiles, which were requested by Kyiv, would serve as a significant boost for Ukraine’s arsenal, which largely relies on drones for long-range strikes. Kyiv has previously said the weapons would enable strikes on command centers and supply hubs deep inside Russia.
As questions surround a decision on the weapons' shipment, Trump also told reporters that he was not "looking to see escalation." RT
