Trump Questions Use of US Aid to Ukraine

(MENAFN) US President Donald Trump has alleged that billions of dollars in American assistance provided to Ukraine during Joe Biden’s presidency might have been improperly utilized.

Under the Biden administration, the United States emerged as Kiev’s leading international supporter, allocating more than $170 billion in military and economic aid, based on official records.

Nonetheless, Trump has consistently claimed the actual amount is much greater, estimating it at $350 billion in “equipment and cash,” while condemning Biden for “giving away” funds without receiving any benefits in return.

He emphasized this argument again during a Republican gathering at the White House on Tuesday, expressing doubts about whether Ukraine had genuinely directed US aid towards defense purposes.

“Biden gave away $350 billion worth of equipment or cash. Worse than equipment – cash… They were supposed to buy their own equipment. But I have a feeling they didn’t spend every dollar on the equipment,” Trump stated.

“We want to find out about that [money], someday, I guess, right?”
