Trump believes Europe should bear more of a financial burden for Ukraine.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday on arrival at the United Nations in New York City that he would continue to withhold money for Ukraine that he ordered frozen.
“As far as withholding funds, those funds were paid – they were fully paid. My complaint has always been, and I’d withhold again and I’ll continue to withhold until such time as Europe and other nations contribute to Ukraine because they’re not doing it,” Trump said on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly on September 24, according to Reuters.
Trump told reporters he believes Europe should bear more of a financial burden for Ukraine.
“We’re putting up the bulk of the money, and I’m asking why is that…What I want, and I insist on it, is that Europe has to put up money for Ukraine also,” he said.
As was reported, before a July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump confirmed that the aid worth almost US$400 million had been blocked. He said it had been done for other countries to make their contributions.

This is not good for Ukraine, if Europe doesn’t cough up, Ukraine gets no more aid from the US.
Yes it sounds like a lose-lose for Ukraine but I’m glad somebody besides Ukraine Today said this.
I read a lot of BS about this Trump affair, but this is ridiculous. Does this publication expect to be taken seriously? I know the situation is not funny, but I laughed at the absurdity of this.

LOL, now that’s desperate! Only the TDS patients will believe that.
I know Trump is different, but I just couldn’t see two Presidents who have never met, calling each other Don and Vol. LMAO

I understand Trump’s attitude against the European pansies. However, he should not go along this path. This will only hurt a nation that is totally innocent.

Almost. Tuesday next week i’ll be in hospital…
Ah, I see. Well, get the laughing out of your system, it will hurt when the docs are finished with you….lmao! No, I’m not laughing….
What’s to laugh anyway? No booze, no cigarettes, no XXX with Suzanna, no internet and only soup to eat…
Oye! It will be my turn too, I have to do that over-50 thing soon….lmao!
Well, i’m in my mid-forties now, but if anything goes wrong with the surgery any fossil aged 90 will beat me. Suzanna said she would not leave me, but she is hiding a packed suitcase under the bed… i would understand, the kid needs a working dad… BTW, i hope it’s mine…
You will be fine Mike. People are getting those procedures every day. You handle changes very well. I guess we will find out soon if it is yours. If he/she wakes up saying, “Bhaaaahaaaaahaaaaaaaaaa!” then we know it’s yours.
Baaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
He’s just kicking Ukraine in the teeth. Again. He knows the EU not only does not care about Ukraine, but it is crawling with putlerite scum.
Trump impeachment inquiry is coming: Nancy Pelosi!!!
This shit really pisses me off.
One of the only things that a majority of Republicans AND Democrats and an overwhelming majority of the American people agree on is unconditional support forum the people of Ukraine.
Just a coincidence that he ordered these funds withheld 2 days before the phone call with Zelinsky?
Start the fucking impeachment process and nominate Nikki Haley or even Ted Cruz .
