Spending ZERO DOLLARS, EU Paying: Trump On Ukraine Weapon Funding Amit Patriot Missile Supply
'NATO, EU To Bear Cost'
'We are spending ZERO DOLLARS. The European Union is paying for it. We're not paying ANYTHING. It'll be business for us," said Trump, as per News18.
Earlier, after approving the supply of weapons to Ukraine via NATO, Trump said, "We're sending weapons to NATO, and NATO is paying for those weapons, 100%. So what we're doing is the weapons that are going out are going to NATO, and then NATO is going to be giving those weapons (to Ukraine), and NATO is paying for those weapons."
Patriot Missiles To Ukraine
President Trump on Sunday announced that the United States will send Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine. Trump said that these missiles are necessary to defend Ukraine. "Putin really surprised a lot of people. He talks nice and then bombs everybody in the evening," said Trump. The US President said that the European Union would reimburse the cost of these missiles. Notably, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has repeatedly asked NATO and the US to strengthen Ukraine's air defence system against Russia.
Trump On Putin
Notably, Trump has been unhappy with Putin for not negotiating a ceasefire with Ukraine. The US President has become increasingly frustrated with Putin, as the Russian leader has resisted his efforts to broker a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Two rounds of indirect ceasefire talks between Ukraine and Russia, brokered by Trump, have failed to produce any results. After several phone calls with Putin since taking office, Trump now seems to be reassessing both his stance and approach toward Putin and Russia.

At all-party meet before Monsoon Session, Opposition presses Centre on Bihar SIR, Trump's ceasefire claims
An all-party meeting convened by the Union government on Sunday ahead of the Monsoon session of Parliament saw the Opposition raise a host of contentious issues — including voter roll revisions in Bihar, the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, and US President Donald Trump's controversial claims of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. While the government sought the cooperation of opposition parties for the smooth conduct of the House, the meeting quickly pivoted to pointed demands for accountability. Congress Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha, Gaurav Gogoi, told reporters that his party had asked for a statement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Trump's remarks, what he described as 'lapses' that led to the Pahalgam attack, and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. 'It is incumbent on PM Modi to give a statement in Parliament on key issues raised by the Congress,' Gogoi said. The concerns were echoed by CPI(M) MP John Brittas, who also urged the PM Modi to address the Parliament on both the Pahalgam attack and Trump's ceasefire claims, which he says merit urgent clarification.
