Trump seeks repayment of hundreds of billions for Ukraine aid, signals pause in allied arms sales

  • Donald Trump said Europe should repay the United States for Ukraine aid and munitions.
  • Trump said hundreds of billions of dollars went to Ukraine and NATO without payment.
  • U.S. Army stockpiles of accurate long-range missiles were heavily depleted during the Iran war.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he would ask European nations to reimburse the United States for military aid and munitions previously sent to Ukraine. He also appeared to signal a temporary halt in arms sales to allied countries, saying the United States was retaining munitions for its own use before sales to allies resume. Trump criticized reports that U.S. stockpiles had been heavily depleted during the separate war in Iran, while saying the country was replenishing its supplies. Reuters reported last month that the U.S. Army had used much of its stockpile of highly accurate long-range missiles during the conflict, prompting concerns about readiness for future wars.
