The former president then called on American allies in Europe to do more to assist Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy isn\u2019t Europe giving more money to help Ukraine? Why is it that the United States is over $100 Billion Dollars into the Ukraine War more than Europe, and we have an Ocean between us as separation!
