Former President and 2024 GOP candidate Donald Trump unloaded on President Biden for supplying Ukrainians with cluster munitions; “Joe Biden should not be dragging us further toward World War III.”
Trump released an official statement on TRUTH Social.
Read Trump’s full statement below:
Joe Biden should not be dragging us further toward World War III by sending cluster munitions to Ukraine—he should be trying to END the war and stop the horrific death and destruction being caused by an incompetent administration. These unexploded cluster munitions will be killing and maiming innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children for decades to come, long after the war—we pray—has ended. If, as Biden inadvertently admitted, the reason for sending cluster bombs now is that the United States is “running out of ammunition” (a great breach of classified information), that only further emphasizes the urgency of immediately de-escalating this bloody, dangerous, and out of control conflict. It certainly means we should not be sending Ukraine our last stockpiles at a time when our own arsenals, according to Crooked Joe Biden, are so perilously diminished.
There could be no more vivid proof that Joe Biden’s policy of endless war in Ukraine has tremendously weakened the United States than the humiliating admission that the USA is now out of ammo, something our enemies are undoubtedly salivating over. This “admitted” weakness is an invitation to enemies all over the world. Joe Biden is needlessly and dangerously leading us into World War III, which would be a nightmare beyond imagination—obliteration!
We must stop this insanity, immediately end the bloodshed in Ukraine, and return to a focus on America’s vital interests. Most importantly, we must completely rebuild our depleted military so it is once again so strong—like it was just 3 years ago when I rebuilt it—that no nation would even think of threatening our people. We must have “PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH” and in a short time, the Presidential election of 2024 will produce that result.
Several other conservatives shared Trump’s feelings on Biden’s $800 million dollar cluster bomb package, including Tulsi Gabbard and Vivek Ramaswamy.
“Biden’s decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine shows they don’t care about the Ukrainian people; these munitions will lead to Ukrainian casualties caused by undetonated bomblets for decades to come,” Gabbard said on Twitter.

“Last year the Biden White House called the use of cluster bombs by Russia a ‘war crime.’ Now Biden is proudly sending them to Ukraine. Stop the carnage,” Ramaswamy said.

The right answer: strike a deal now that freezes the current lines of control & commit to keep Ukraine out of NATO, in return… pic.twitter.com/KLzDR93pPF
