#Trump once again makes false claims about #US & European #aid to #Ukraine, saying that America has spent $350B while #Europe has spent $100M. In fact, acc/to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, Europe has allocated $138B compared with $119B from the United States.

Trump’s false claims on the sum the US has spent are the predicate for his demand that Ukraine pay upwards of $500B to the US under a still-being-negotiated #minerals agreement.
