US President Donald Trump said he believes Washington will be able to recover all the money that was spent on Ukraine during the Trump administration, the White House reports.
While speaking to the press, Trump said the war in Ukraine currently costs the United States nothing. According to him, Washington is making money instead.
"In fact, we make money because, unlike Biden (former US President Joe Biden - ed.), Biden gave $350 billion, gave it away," the US president said.
He added that, thanks to a rare earth deal, Ukraine has already returned a significant portion of the funds spent to the United States. At the same time, Trump believes there will be even more returns.
"Now, I got a lot of it back because we did a rare earth deal going into rare earth. And we're going to get a lot of that money back. Maybe all of the money, maybe more than all of the money," the White House chief concluded.
