U.S. Aid to Ukraine vs. European Aid: Fact-Checking President Trump's Claims
President Donald Trump has exaggerated the amount of U.S. aid to Ukraine compared to Europe, stating that Europe gave $100 billion as a loan while the U.S. gave $350 billion with no repayment. However, the U.S. has only appropriated around $174.2 billion for Ukraine, with a significant portion staying in the U.S. for military production. Europe has actually provided more aid to Ukraine, with about $140 billion allocated. Both the U.S. and Europe have provided aid in the form of grants and loans, with some loans having favorable terms.
