7. Biden’s $350 Billion Aid to Ukraine
Trump claimed that Biden allocated a staggering $350 billion in aid to Ukraine, a number that is wildly exaggerated. In reality, the U.S. government has allocated far less, with estimates ranging from $135 billion to $94 billion by mid-2025, depending on how the funds are counted. This includes both military and economic aid, as well as funds spent within the U.S. and other European countries, not just Ukraine. The $350 billion figure Trump cited is far from accurate and misrepresents the true scale of U.S. involvement in the Ukraine conflict. The U.S. has been a significant supporter of Ukraine’s defense efforts, but Trump’s inflated number seems designed to exaggerate the financial commitment and mislead the public about the U.S.’s role.
The actual sum is much lower, and the funds have been carefully allocated to assist Ukraine in its struggle against Russian aggression. Misleading claims like these contribute to confusion and skepticism about the true cost of U.S. foreign policy and its support for Ukraine.
