U.S. President Donald Trump said his administration is no longer providing military assistance to Ukraine and instead is selling weapons and other equipment. Speaking to reporters on 18 Aug 2025, Trump contrasted his approach with what he called the Biden administration’s decision to give Ukraine more than $300 billion in support during the early years of the war with Russia. Trump added that NATO allies are also paying the United States for armaments, underscoring his broader push to recoup costs from partners that have traditionally relied on U.S. security guarantees.
