President Biden revealed earlier this month that the Ukrainian army was \u201crunning out\u201d of 155mm artillery ammunition and that the US was \u201clow on it,\u201d and that this played a role in his controversial decision to send cluster munition to Ukraine. Biden\u2019s talking points were echoed by Pentagon and White House officials.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former President Donald Trump has lashed out at Joe Biden for revealing that the United States is running low on ammunition amid its failing proxy-war with Russia in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a man that doesn\u2019t understand what he\u2019s doing. We have a man that yesterday stood up and told the whole world that we have no ammunition. You know I had every ammunition building full to the brim three years ago. We\u2019ve given it all away. But if you gave it all away\u2026the only thing worse than that is to tell the world that we have no [ammunition]. He has told China and these other places that are hostile that we have no ammunition,\u201d Trump said<\/a> in a TV interview Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy the way you talk about classified documents \u2013 that\u2019s worse than any document that you could give. So now these people are sitting back, in China and other places that hate us including North Korea where I had a very good relationship with Kim Jong-un and kept our country safe \u2013 they\u2019re talking about the United States of America has no ammunition, think of it. How stupid can somebody be to say that?\u201d Trump asked.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump, who is currently leading<\/a> in polling for the Republican nomination in 2024, and is five points ahead of Biden<\/a> in polling for the general election, accused the sitting president of corruption in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook at all the money we\u2019re giving to Ukraine and yet Ukraine was paying the Biden family a fortune,\u201d Trump said, presumably referring to reports<\/a> that Biden and his son Hunter allegedly received millions of dollars from a Ukrainian businessman while Joe Biden was serving as Barack Obama\u2019s vice president in an alleged pay-to-play corruption scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked if he would cut off funding to Ukraine, Trump answered \u201cI\u2019d get the war settled. The money is \u2013 number one I\u2019d tell Europe \u2018you\u2019re about $100 billion+ short. You gotta pay.\u2019 Because Europe is smiling all the way to the bank\u2026Europe is doing very little compared to the United States and it affects them more. No matter how you look at it, they\u2019re right there, we\u2019re an ocean apart. Why are we at $150 billion and they\u2019re at $20 [billion]? You know their economy is almost exactly our size if you add it all up\u2026They should be at the same number that we\u2019re at if not more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump also repeated his earlier warnings about the dangers of the current Russia-NATO proxy conflict in Ukraine owing to the existence of nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the most dangerous time in the history of our country because of weaponry. The nuclear power is so enormous \u2013 this isn\u2019t two army tanks going and shooting each other in World War I, World War II, or soldiers standing behind a bunker and shooting people,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
