Donald Trump says "not spending on Ukraine anymore"

Despite claims that the United States is no longer funding military aid to Ukraine, significant taxpayer-supported assistance continues. While former President Trump's administration halted direct weapon transfers from U.S. stockpiles and new financing for weapon purchases, existing contracts signed under the previous administration are still being fulfilled, with billions of dollars worth of weapons expected to be delivered through 2028. Additionally, Congress has approved new funding, and the State Department continues to provide military equipment and facilitate arms sales, with overall U.S. weapons transfers averaging around $5 billion annually. Beyond weaponry, the U.S. also provides substantial, though less visible, support through intelligence sharing, logistics, and operational assistance.
