President Donald Trump is getting praise from his most ardent supporters for withholding some weapons from Ukraine after they recently questioned his commitment to keeping the U.S. out of foreign conflicts.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump complained Thursday that the United States provided too many weapons to Ukraine under the previous administration, his first public comments on the pause in some shipments as Russia escalates its latest offensive.

President Trump was speaking Thursday morning with Russian President Vladimir Putin – two days after the US cut off air defense missiles and other weapons to Ukraine, citing low American stockpiles.
