Florida congressman questions new Ukraine weapons policy on live TV

During a Fox & Friends broadcast Rep Mike Waltz expressed surprise about Bidens latest military choice - letting Ukraine hit targets in Russia with US-made long-range weapons. The Florida rep (who serves as Trumps incoming security adviser) wasnt given any heads-up about this major policy shift

“Its another step up the escalation ladder and nobody knows where this is going“ - this statement came as part of Waltzs live-tv discussion about the new weapons policy. The congressman pointed out that Donald Trump takes a different approach: focusing on bringing both sides to negotiations

The rep highlighted Trumps key questions about the conflict resolution: how to get opposing parties to meet; what kind of deal-framework should be used; which countries should participate in peace-talks. These points show a clear difference between current and future administrations approach to the east-european conflict
