Newsman: President Donald Trump continued attack Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asserting that the U.S. was duped into spending billions to help Ukraine defend itself following Russia’s 2022 invasion.
President Donald Trump said in a social media post on Wednesday,
“Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and ‘TRUMP,’ will never be able to settle,” the president wrote in a post on Truth Social. “A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left.”
Trump’s attack on Zelenskyy which inflates the amount of money the U.S. has provided in aid and asserts without evidence that half of it was “MISSING” — came after Zelenskyy said earlier on Wednesday that Trump was “surrounded by misinformation” in response to the president’s comments on Tuesday in which he blamed Ukraine for starting the war.
Trump administration negotiators meeting with Russian officials earlier this week — without Ukraine at the table — to start negotiations to potentially end the war Russia started.
