MAR-A-LAGO, Florida. Dec 16– Donald Trump has suggested that he could reverse permission for Ukraine to use American missiles inside Russia.<\/p>\n

Speaking to press at Mar-a-Lago he said it was a \u201cbig mistake\u201d to permit Ukraine to\u00a0strike targets within Russia<\/a>\u00a0with US-supplied long-range missiles.<\/p>\n

\u201cEspecially just weeks before I take over. Why would they do that without asking me what I thought? I think that was a big mistake,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Asked by a reporter if he would consider reversing the decision once in office, he responded: \u201cI might yeah. I thought it was a very stupid thing to do.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

He also incorrectly claimed that Joe Biden\u2019s decision to allow Ukraine to strike targets on Russian soil with US weapons triggered the deployment of North Korean soldiers.<\/p>\n

The outgoing President has said he made the move because of Russia\u2019s decision to deploy North Koreans on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

Trump has previously claimed that the decision by the outgoing President risked \u201cescalating this war and making it worse\u201d.<\/p>\n

Trump has vowed to end the war between Ukraine and Russia quickly after taking office for a second time, without setting out how he plans to do so.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

On Monday, the Republican said he would speak to both Ukraine\u2019s\u00a0Volodymyr Zelenskyy\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0Russia\u2019s Vladimir Putin<\/a>\u00a0to end the war because the images of conflict had troubled him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s got to stop,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n

When challenged whether he would force Ukraine to cede territory to Russia, he suggested many of the towns being fought over had been reduced to rubble.<\/p>\n

Trump said: \u201cI mean, there are cities that there\u2019s not a building standing, it\u2019s a demolition site.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also said he had been shown pictures of body-strewn battlefields that reminded him of some of the grisly photographs from the 1861-1865 American Civil War.<\/p>\n
