TSX lower as gold rally takes a breather
Investing.com -- The Kremlin is awaiting clarification from the United States regarding the potential supply of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, with Moscow viewing such a move as a serious escalation of the conflict.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Tuesday that these weapons could theoretically carry nuclear warheads, heightening Russia’s concerns about their possible transfer to Kyiv.
The statement comes after U.S. President Donald Trump expressed caution on Monday about providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. Trump indicated he would need to understand Ukraine’s intended use for the weapons before approving any transfer, specifically citing his reluctance to escalate Russia’s war against Ukraine.
"I would want to know what Ukraine planned to do with Tomahawks before agreeing to provide them because I did not want to escalate Russia’s war against Ukraine," Trump said.
