President Donald Trump raged at the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday after the newspaper published a report about the U.S. lifting key restrictions on Ukraine's long-range missile use.
The report says the Trump administration lifted a "key restriction" that enables Ukraine to "step up attacks on targets inside Russia and increase pressure on the Kremlin."
"The unannounced U.S. move to enable Kyiv to use the missile in Russia comes after authority for supporting such attacks was recently transferred from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon to the top U.S. general in Europe, Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, who also serves as NATO commander," the report reads in part.
Trump responded in a post on Truth Social.
"The Wall Street Journal story on the U.S.A.’s approval of Ukraine being allowed to use long range missiles deep into Russia is FAKE NEWS!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. "The U.S. has nothing to do with those missiles, wherever they may come from, or what Ukraine does with them!"
