US President Donald Trump said he was trying to get money back for the billions of dollars sent to support Ukraine’s war against Russia.

 

His comments came as Washington and Kyiv negotiate a mineral resources deal Trump wants as compensation for the wartime aid his predecessor Joe Biden gave Ukraine.

 

Trump told delegates at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) near Washington: “I’m trying to get the money back, or secured.

 

“I want them to give us something for all of the money that we put up. We’re asking for rare earth and oil, anything we can get.

 

“We’re going to get our money back because it’s just not fair. And we will see, but I think we’re pretty close to a deal, and we better be close because that has been a horrible situation.”
