Oneindia

Donald Trump declared that the U.S. is no longer directly paying Ukraine but instead profits from arms sales routed through NATO allies. Speaking at the White House, Trump emphasized that NATO partners fund and supply ammunition to Kyiv, while the U.S. benefits from the transactions. He praised President Zelensky, calling him “the greatest salesman,” during their second meeting this year. Trump’s remarks signal a shift in Washington’s Ukraine strategy, stressing NATO’s financial burden and America’s transactional approach to global security.    #Trump #UkraineWar #NATO #Zelensky #USPolitics #ForeignPolicy #UkraineConflict #TrumpSpeech #GlobalSecurity #ArmsSales #DefensePolicy #Trump2025 #WhiteHouse #Geopolitics #USNATO #UkraineAid #MilitaryNews #TrumpZelensky #BreakingNews #RussiaUkraineWar #Diplomacy #TrumpStatements #DefenseDeals #GlobalArmsTrade #TrumpPressConference #WorldNews #TrumpOnUkraine #NATOStrategy #TrumpRemarks #UkraineSupport  Also Read  Trump's India Tariffs 'Aggressive Leverage' To Force Russia To Stop Ukraine war: JD Vance :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trumps-india-tariffs-aggressive-leverage-to-force-russia-to-stop-ukraine-war-jd-vance-7839875.html?ref=DMDesc  US President Trump Appoints Close Aide Sergio Gor As India Ambassador :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-appoints-close-aide-sergio-gor-as-india-ambassador-7838355.html?ref=DMDesc  Trump Govt Reviews 55 Million US Visa Holders For Possible Deportation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-govt-reviews-55-million-us-visa-holders-for-possible-deportation-7837279.html?ref=DMDesc    ~HT.318~

00:00We don't pay any money to Ukraine anymore, do you know that?

00:03We make money. I don't want to make money on Ukraine.

00:06I want the war to end because I want to save all those lives.

00:08You rolled out boots on the ground in Ukraine,

00:11but how would air support as part of a security guarantee be any different?

00:16You really went from one question to the next.

00:21I expected he'd at least challenge you.

00:23Now we're talking about boots on the ground.

00:25But U.S. air assets over the skies of Ukraine as part of a security guarantee,

00:30wouldn't those U.S. airmen also be a major?

00:31Well, you don't know what security guarantee is

00:33because we haven't even discussed the specifics of it, and we'll see.

00:37Number one, Europe is going to give them significant security guarantees,

00:41and they should because they're right there.

00:43But we'll be involved from the standpoint of backup.

00:46We're going to help them.

00:47And I think if we get a deal, and I think we will,

00:51but if we get a deal, I don't believe you're going to have much of a problem.

00:55But we'll back it up because I want to stop seeing people being killed.

00:59You know, when Biden was here, he gave $350 billion.

01:03You know this from covering business.

01:06$350 billion to Ukraine.

01:09I said that Zelensky is the greatest salesman I think I've ever met better than P.T. Barnum

01:13because he'd come to the country.

01:15He'd walk out with $50 billion every time.

01:17He actually came here once.

01:19He walked out with $100 billion.

01:20We're up to $350 billion.

01:22I got a trillion dollars' worth of rare earth that we have from the country

01:29because I felt badly for our taxpayer.

01:31But I did something else at the NATO meeting.

01:34They are wealthy countries, but they weren't paying.

01:37And we don't pay any money to Ukraine anymore.

01:41Do you know that?

01:42In fact, it's the opposite.

01:43They request, through NATO, we deal with NATO.

01:48We don't deal really with Ukraine.

01:50NATO requests missiles.

01:52They want patriots.

01:53They want missiles.

01:54We give the missiles to NATO.

01:56NATO pays us in full and does what they want.

02:00I mean, I think they give them mostly to, they can do other things with them too

02:04because we're dealing with NATO.

02:05We pay no money to Ukraine.

02:07We gave $350 billion to Ukraine.

02:11You know, if we didn't give that kind of money, and I was the one that gave the javelins,

02:15if you remember.

02:16I gave the javelins.

02:17They were very effective.

02:19They say Obama gave sheets and Trump gave javelins.

02:22They were very effective with those tanks right at the beginning.

02:25But you would have never had a war if I were president.

02:28You would have never had a war.

02:29Just to finish, we spend no money on Ukraine anymore.

02:35Now, we were getting fleeced by a president that didn't know what he was doing.

02:42To be honest, I don't blame Ukraine.

02:43I mean, if they come and ask for $100 billion, then they get it.

02:47But we were in for $350 billion.

02:50Now, we make money.

02:52I don't want to make money on Ukraine.

02:54I want the war to end because I want to save all those lives.

02:56I want to just say, but just so you understand, we're no longer losing money on that thing.

03:00We were losing money hand over fist.

03:02Now, we don't lose any money.

03:04Now, we sell weapons to NATO.

03:07Because NATO agreed, because of me, to go to 5%, they had 2% and didn't pay.

03:13Now, they have 5% and they're all paid up.

03:16So, they have trillions of dollars and they give us that money.

03:19But I really want the war to end.

03:21And we're going to get it ended.
