Trump Admin Approves License Allowing Ukraine to Buy Weapons from U.S. Dealers

HeadlineDec 21, 2017

The Trump administration has approved an export license that will allow Ukraine to buy weapons and firearms from U.S. arms manufacturers. The approval represents a lifting of the Obama-era de facto restrictions on arms exports to Ukraine, although there was never a formal ban. The move comes amid an ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia in which 10,000 people have been killed since 2014.
