U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matt Whitaker Warns Russia: ‘If You Want War, We Will Arm Ukraine’
During an appearance on the political talk show ‘America Reports,’ U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matt Whitaker issued a direct warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating that if Russia continues its military actions against Ukraine, the United States will provide the necessary military aid to support Ukraine. The comments were made in the context of ongoing discussions about the war in Ukraine and the potential for further escalation.
Whitaker also addressed the possibility of President Donald Trump imposing additional tariffs on Russia, should the conflict continue. The tariffs would be a secondary measure in response to Russia’s actions, indicating the U.S. is prepared to take multiple steps to deter further aggression. The interview highlighted the deepening tensions between the United States and Russia, with both nations taking a firm stance on the issue of Ukraine’s sovereignty.
The warning from Whitaker reflects the broader diplomatic strategy of the United States to signal its unwavering support for Ukraine while deterring further Russian aggression. As the situation in Ukraine remains volatile, the U.S. and its allies are actively considering all options to ensure that the conflict does not escalate further.
