US President Donald Trump was frankly surprised by the request to comment on the topic of possible US participation in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.
This happened during a joint press conference with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron at the White House, broadcast by C-SPAN. Trump called the journalist's question strange.
"It seems to me that this is a bit of a strange question. You asked if we are going to contribute to Ukraine on behalf of the United States. I mean, we have already invested about $ 350 billion there, and I think this is a pretty big contribution," the American leader said.
Earlier, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, refused to recognize the debt to the United States of either $ 500 or even $ 100 billion. . According to him, the Biden administration allocated this money to Kiev in the form of grants.
As reported by EADaily, earlier French President Emmanuel Macron said that a truce in the Ukrainian conflict could be reached within a few weeks.
