Trump Overstates U.S. and European Support for Ukraine, Loans

President Trump exaggerated U.S. aid amounts to Ukraine, claiming $350 billion, double the actual figure, while overstating European loan-based contributions. Europe provided about $140 billion, mainly not loans. U.S. aid included grants and military investments. Misrepresentations persisted despite facts showing Europe's greater overall financial support.
