Trump himself has not commented, but he won the election after promising to end the war - and several people close to him have condemned the move as dangerous escalation.

Biden has committed tens of billions of dollars to Kyiv's war effort, and at the weekend he reportedly ditched a long-standing red line on Ukraine's use of American weaponry to launch attacks deep into Russia.

Donald Trump Jr tweeted that the president was trying to "get World War Three going" before his father took office.

Biden's decision has not been formally confirmed and it may never be.
