In late February 2025, a video circulated on social media claiming to show U.S. President Donald Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. stating on his "Triggered with Don Jr." podcast that the U.S. should have sent weapons to Russia instead of Ukraine, in the Russia-Ukraine war.

A fake audio clip of Donald Trump Jr. saying that the U.S. should have sent weapons to Russia instead of Ukraine was shared across social media. Deepfake experts said the audio was apparently generated using artificial intelligence.
