Trump wants Biden’s Ukraine billions back | 4 Sep 2026 | U.S. President Donald Trump has said he intends to present Europe with a belated bill for billions of dollars Washington spent arming Ukraine under his [so-called] predecessor, Joe Biden. In a post on Truth Social on Thursday, Trump renewed his criticism of the scale of the Biden regime’s support for Kiev, claiming that “Hundreds of Billions of Dollars was given to Ukraine and NATO, free of charge, that Europe would have paid for — If they were only asked.” “We will be asking for that money, though somewhat belatedly!” Trump did not specify how much Washington would seek, which European countries would be expected to pay, or how any retroactive payments would be arranged. Earlier this week, he said Biden gave Ukraine more than $300 billion worth of weapons “free.” Under Trump, Washington has shifted the cost of new U.S. weapons supplied to Ukraine through the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) to other NATO members and partners.
