What the evidence supports

False

The United States had provided Ukraine between $300 billion and $350 billion.

Congressional and oversight totals were roughly $174 billion to $183 billion, far below the range Trump gave.

Misleading

European assistance to Ukraine was principally loans that Europe would get back.

Most European assistance was grants or in-kind support rather than repayable loans.

Misleading

Foreign countries, rather than Americans, paid the tariffs imposed during Trump's first term.

The tariffs were collected from U.S. importers, with economic research finding much of the cost was borne in the United States.
