CNN correspondent Daniel Dale fact-checked President Trump's claims regarding U.S. aid to Ukraine compared to European assistance. Trump stated that the U.S. had provided $350 billion, while Europe had given only $1 billion, which Dale described as an inaccurate portrayal. In fact, the Kiel Institute reported that Europe has provided more wartime aid to Ukraine, with Europe contributing $195 billion versus the U.S. $134 billion. Moreover, aid commitments show an even larger disparity favoring Europe, further invalidating Trump's assertions.
President Donald Trump falsely claimed that the U.S. has provided triple the aid to Ukraine compared to Europe, citing inflated figures. In truth, Europe has given more.
The claim of $350 billion in U.S. aid and $100 billion from Europe is inaccurate; U.S. aid actually stands at $134 billion and Europe has provided $195 billion.
According to the Kiel Institute, U.S. wartime aid to Ukraine through June totals $134 billion, while Europe collectively has contributed $195 billion.
On aid commitments, the U.S. had pledged $139 billion and Europe nearly $300 billion, further disproving Trump's assertion of higher U.S. aid.
