The American president Donald Trump stated on Thursday that he will ask European countries to reimburse the military aid granted by the United States to Ukraine during the administration of his predecessor, Joe Biden. The Republican demands that Europeans assume a larger portion of the cost of Western support for Kyiv in its war against Russia, which has been ongoing for more than four years.
Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that "hundreds of billions of dollars were given to Ukraine and NATO for free," and added that Europe would have paid if asked, but that the United States will ask for this money, albeit with some delay. The president, however, did not specify which countries he believes should pay.
Additionally, Trump signaled a temporary pause in ammunition sales to allies, according to the article. The decision may affect the supply of weapons to countries that depend on American military material during the conflict.
