The strike raised questions about U.S. security and could lead to future executive actions, according to the press secretary.

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump did not receive advance notification before Ukraine launched a drone swarm attack against Russian airfields, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters during a press briefing on June 3.

She noted “he was not” notified and acknowledged that the incident raised concerns about domestic national security, given the stealthy nature of the operation that penetrated nearly 3,000 miles into Russian Arctic and Siberian territory.
