In a recent address to Congress, Donald Trump reiterated multiple false claims regarding U.S. foreign aid, specifically mentioning that $350 billion has been given to Ukraine since Russia's invasion in 2022. However, factual reports indicate that the U.S. has allocated about $120 billion, while Europe has contributed even more when non-EU countries' donations are counted. Additionally, Trump made an unsupported claim about $45 million for diversity scholarships in Burma, misrepresenting the purpose of a USAid program that actually aids students from diverse backgrounds. These inaccuracies were highlighted by previous corrections from visiting leaders.
