United States President, Donald Trump has claimed that the country has spent more than $300 billion on war in Ukraine since Russia’s invasion of the country three years ago.
According to Trump, the United States has spent much more money on the war in Ukraine than countries in Europe.
The Republican spoke alongside French President Emmanuel Macron at a joint news conference in Washington DC on Monday.
“The United States has put up far more aid for Ukraine than any other nation,” Trump said.
“We’ve spent more than $300 billion, and Europe has spent about 100 —$100 billion. That’s a big difference and at some point we should equalize,” he said.
Meanwhile, during their Oval Office meeting on Monday, Macron interrupted Trump to correct his US counterpart on the nature of European support for Ukraine.
