Trump threatened to cut Ukraine aid during campaign, will he follow through? | DW News

In just two months, Donald Trump will return to the White House as US President. It will mark the end of Joe Biden's time in office and, if Trump keeps his word, it will be the beginning of the end of America's aid to Ukraine. Trump won the election on a promise to spend money on America first, and to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours.
Before that happens, in what appears to be some key last minute policy shifts, US President Biden has given the green light to Ukraine's military to use American ATACMS missiles inside Russia. And, today, the US said it will supply Ukraine with anti-personnel landmines.

He just needs to rename his country Israel, and he'll have full support 😂😂😂😂

[donvongprachanh]

We still have land mines in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos that were left by America.

[omarorozco]

European should ask their own countries how much are they going to spend on defense before they ask my country

[hanaashaba]

The problem is with Ukraine, they need a leader with knowledge

[nitinkumar]

Don't understand one thing, the US or the US taxpayers gave around 180 billion dollars to Ukraine as per my knowledge, but how much the EU gave Ukraine? Is it the US war or war is on the EU? Ukraine is neither the EU nor NATO state. And if the EU fear Russian aggression, shouldn't they also give billions of euros to Ukraine? I think, the Europeans are asking too much from the US. Interestingly, both the EU states and the US are still buying oil, fertilizers, Uranium etc. from Russia.

[chrisbreezy-ryanbarbosa]

No but Zelensky said US cant pressure them to negotiations. 😂

[drakecarter]

We elected Trump for our ends. Not yours.
I don't care if it's "tiny" it's a waste.

[TheTwangKings]

It will happen almost 100 percent sure. Europe must stand together now.

[lawrencecole]

Ya, that's the plan, and I hope they do. Enough dictator Zelensky roleplaying.

[Dont_Lie_please]

Ukraine leader just need to resign and continue his comic stuff

[FabiusPolis]

The whole world sees this as an escalation and a war crime. Lets discuss and argue for 15 minutes why its somehow justified even it doesnt change the outcome of the war but is simply just killing people, perhaps somebody think thats a good idea after that.

[solutionsgh]

Please Trump, pull all support for Ukraine and save lives. Greedy Zelensky sacrificing Ukraine lives for money

[mkh]

what about the homeless?. can you spend 0.5% of GDP to help the homeless, hungry children and mentally sick person ?

[johnhennery]

Make the next 4 years an opportunity to make EU great again by building ur own defense system

[markgoicoechea]

You’ve got to keep that war machine going. What better way than to encourage conflict. Insane

[bojans]

The US is not the only free democratic country in the World. European Governments, Australia, Japan, South Korea etc. need to step up the support to Ukraine.
