The Pentagon has halted shipments of critical US Patriot air defence systems and other precision weapons to Ukraine after concern that US stockpiles are running too low, prompting alarm in Kyiv.
At the end of last week’s Nato summit, Donald Trump hinted that supplies of Patriot missile interceptors were running down because some had been supplied to Israel, though he suggested he would like to help Kyiv.
After a meeting with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the US president acknowledged that Ukraine did “want to have the anti-missile systems, as they call the Patriots, and we’re going to see if we can make some available”.
But Trump added: “They’re very hard to get. We need them. We were supplying them to Israel,” implying that supporting Israel in its war with Iran – a priority for the Republican administration – had set back its willingness to help Kyiv.
She said she supported Israel. Meanwhile Trump was in battleground states telling Michigan Muslims he supported Gaza.

Nobody genuinely believed that Trump would support Gaza, even the article says he would bring “peace,” which as anyone knows would require the dissolution of the state of Israel and a full, secular, democratic Palestine. Harris lost because she campaigned to the right of Biden, who was already right-wing.
Muslims believed him and voted for him. That’s what the NPR article I linked was about.
Which, as I said, is because she didn’t lie.
Don’t generalize. Like any other group some muslims voted for harris some for trump
Trump was not campaigning to the Left. A huge proportion of Deerborn voted for Jill Stein, not Trump. Some did, but nobody in any significant numbers thought Trump would be better for genocide.
Harris could have told the truth and not run a far-right campaign.
? She said she supported Israel. That’s telling the truth.
Muslims didn’t agree with Harris so voted for Trump who said he supported Palestine. It’s not theoretical. More Muslims voted for Trump. That’s why there’s an NPR article about their leopards eating faces moment.
Harris said : As president, I will exert every effort to terminate the war in Gaza, secure the release of hostages, alleviate the suffering there, ensure Israel’s safety, and guarantee that the Palestinian people can attain their rights to dignity, freedom, security, and self-determination"
She was lying
You don’t know that.
Actually yes, we do
I know because she never called to end military aid to Israel. Israel will only give up occupation till they are weakened and became a pariah state
Calling and end to military aid does not mean her earlier statement was a lie.
"I will exert every effort to terminate the war in Gaza, "
That includes military aid. Just because she didn’t use the particular words you wanted doesn’t make the statement a lie.
No, I mean she could have been truthful, and she could have run a leftward campaign.
As for Muslim voters, a small portion voted for Trump, but another portion voted for Jill Stein. If Harris wanted to get votes from Muslim voters, her and Biden could have not supported genocide.
You mean she could have been an entirely different person? She supported Israel. To say otherwise would have been a lie.
Trump said he supported Palestinians and got Muslim votes in key states.
She could have run an entirely different campaign, one appealing to workers, but she didn’t. Trump also said he supported Israel. Your point is veering on “muslims are too stupid to realize Trump is a Zionist too,” which is horrible. Reconsider the options and see how Mamdani is doing very well, the US wants candidates to the left of the DNC, and the DNC won’t do it because they’d rather lose.
That has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she didn’t lie. You wanted her to be someone else. That’s valid. But she didn’t lie about her position on Israel.
Trump lied about Palestinians. I provided proof that it was believed and his lies influenced the election.
