WASHINGTON: The US next president, Donald Trump, may review his predecessor’s decision to authorize the use of US-supplied long-range missiles to strike inside Russia, a member of Trump’s transition team who asked not to be named told TASS.
"I suspect most everything will be under review. The United States has only one president at any given time. Until the afternoon of January 20, 2025, that president is Joe Biden. Authorizing the use of those missiles was his decision, but not for much longer," he said when asked whether Biden’s decision could be reviewed by Trump when he takes office in January 2025.
Earlier in the day, The New York Times reported that US President Joe Biden has allowed to use US-supplied long-range missiles, known as the Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS, to strike inside Russia.
The Pentagon, however, refused to comment on these reports, while the White House and the Department of State have not yet responded to TASS’ inquiry.
Republican Trump defeated his Democratic rival, current US Vice President Kamala Harris, in the November 5 presidential election. Apart from that, the Republican Party took control of the Senate and is also expected to gain a majority in the House of Representatives. Trump’s inauguration is set for January 20, 2025.
