Trump hints at potential funding cut for Ukraine.
Former President Donald Trump Declines to Cut Funding to Ukraine
In a recent interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures,” former President Donald Trump refused to commit to cutting off funding to Ukraine. The interview, which was recorded over a week ago, has sparked controversy and raised questions about Trump’s stance on the issue.
When asked about the financial support provided to Ukraine, Trump pointed out the alleged payments made to the Biden family and questioned the effectiveness of the aid. He stated, “Look at all the money we’re giving to Ukraine and yet Ukraine was paying the Biden family a fortune.” Trump’s reference to the military assistance provided by the U.S. in Ukraine’s conflict with Russia and the alleged bribes received by then-Vice President Biden has further fueled the debate.
Bartiromo directly asked Trump if he would halt the funding to Ukraine. In response, Trump emphasized the importance of resolving the war and urged Europe to contribute more financially. He stated, “I’d get the war settled. The money is—, number one, I’d tell Europe, you gotta—, you’re about $100+ billion short. Okay? You gotta pay. Because Europe is smiling all the way to the bank. We’re giving all of these, this, Europe is doing very little compared to the United States. And it affects them more.”
Donald Trump won’t say that he’ll cut funding to Ukraine if elected president.

Trump’s previous remarks in the first part of the interview also stirred controversy. He expressed his intention to end the war by potentially providing Ukraine with more weapons, which was seen as a direct message to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump stated, ”I would tell Zelensky, no more. You got to make a deal. I would tell Putin, if you don’t make a deal, we’re going to give him a lot. We’re going to them more than they ever got if we have to. I will have the deal done in one day. One day.”
“We’re gonna give [Ukraine] a lot. We’re gonna give them more than they ever got if we have to.”
Trump says he’ll give more weapons to Zelensky if Putin doesn’t agree to a peace deal.
