Donald Trump Says Europe Should Give Ukraine More Aid
DALLAS, TEXAS - AUGUST 06: Former U.S. President Donald Trump prepares to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference CPAC held at the Hilton Anatole on August 06, 2022 in Dallas, Texas.
The former U.S. President is back in the limelight. This time, Trump boldly called on Europe to dig deep and shower Ukraine with over $100 billion in additional aid.
According to Newsweek, Trump's previous remarks seemingly favors Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. The former President of the US (POTUS) dubbed the Russian leader's move "genius" and "smart."
These days, Trump repeatedly claims that the invasion should have not taken place if he was still in the White House. He also asserted that he could easily end the conflict in merely 24 hours or a day.
And now, in an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo Trump declared that Europe is lagging behind the US when it comes to Ukraine aid. He tells European countries they are "about $100 billion-plus short, you gotta pay."
The Republican 2024 nomination frontrunner further claims that "Europe is smiling all the way to the bank" since they are "doing very little" than the US.
He made such remarks as Sunday Morning Futures host Bartiromo asked the former President if the plans to "stop the money" that the US is showering the conflicted country.
As per The Washington Examiner, the US Congress has agreed to shell out roughly $113 billion in Ukraine assistance and aid to other allied nations since February 2022. That is according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget's data.
Trump responded to Bartiromo, saying he plans to "get the war settled." The Republican leader further claimed that the US has already shelled out $150 billion in aid, whereas Europe is only at $20 billion. He then argued that the economy of the European region is relatively the same size as the US.
