Trump says US will ask Europe to repay Ukraine aid
Trump posted that Washington will seek repayment for the "hundreds of billions" in aid given to Ukraine and NATO, saying Europe "would have paid for" it if asked. The US has provided about $66.9 billion in military aid since 2022 and $69.7 billion since 2014; Trump named no countries and gave no timeline, and there was no immediate European reaction.
