US to seek back payment from Europe for Ukraine aid, Trump says
Trump said the United States will seek repayment from European allies, even as a NATO-backed program already has partners paying for U.S.-made weapons for Ukraine.
- President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he would demand European nations reimburse the United States for military aid previously sent to Ukraine, while signaling a halt in munitions sales to Allies.
- Last year, the United States and NATO developed the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List, an initiative where European nations funded United States weapons shipments to Ukraine to streamline military support.
- Trump wrote that "Hundreds of Billions of Dollars was given to Ukraine and NATO" free of charge, adding the United States is now retaining munitions for its own needs rather than selling to Allies.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent attributed rising oil and gas prices to global energy shocks from the Iran conflict and Kyiv's recent strikes against Russian energy targets and refined products.
- Oil prices hit six-week highs amid regional tensions in the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz, while Army missile stockpiles depleted during the Iran war raise concerns about military readiness.
