US President Donald Trump slammed Europe on Monday, accusing them of spending more on Russian oil than on defending Ukraine.
In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote, “Europe has spent more money buying Russian oil and gas than they have spent on defending Ukraine—BY FAR!”
This criticism comes after a heated exchange between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over how to end the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
European leaders have largely sided with Ukraine, with EU High Representative Kaja Kallas stating, “the free world needs a new leader.”
Zelensky, however, remains hopeful that Ukraine can still count on US support to bring the war to an end.
