Trump said that the survival of Ukraine is important for the United States, and he believes that European allies do not support Ukraine enough.
Why can't Europe provide the same or comparable amount of money that the United States is investing to help a country that desperately needs it? As everyone agrees, Ukraine's survival and strength should be much more important to Europe than to us, but it is also important to us. Move, Europe!
Context
Trump's statement comes a day after he met with Polish President Andrzej Duda. The former president and the Polish leader discussed Duda's proposal that NATO members spend at least 3% of their GDP on defense, rather than the 2% required by current rules.
In his post, Trump spoke for the first time about the need to increase support for Ukraine, although he did not support the bill to allocate $61 billion to the country, which is soon to be voted on by the House of Representatives.
