On the 3rd, U.S. President Trump stated on social media that he would demand European countries repay the military aid and ammunition provided to Ukraine by the U.S. during the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Trump first denied reports about the severe depletion of U.S. ammunition stocks during the Iran war, claiming that the free military aid provided to Ukraine by the Biden administration far exceeds the amount used by U.S. forces in the Iran conflict. He stated, "Hundreds of billions of dollars have been provided to Ukraine and NATO without compensation," and that the U.S. "will seek to recover this money."
