"We are not involved in the war monetarily anymore. Biden gave away $350 billion like it was candy. That is a massive amount of money, and much of it in cash, a lot of IT equipment. I do not give away anything. We sell the equipment to NATO. The European nations pay us for the equipment at 100% price, and then they bring it to Ukraine, or whatever they do with it," Trump told a cabinet meeting.
During Joe Biden’s presidency, the United States became Ukraine’s largest financial backer, approving more than $180 billion in Ukraine-related funding from 2022 to 2024. Of that total, over $66 billion went to military assistance, while tens of billions more were provided as direct budget support, cash transfers, and economic aid to keep the Ukrainian government operating during the conflict.
