Trump has said that weapons have already been shipped to Ukraine after being asked what his thoughts are of the Patriot missiles being bought by Western allies.
The US President said that the Patriot missile defence systems will be arriving from Germany and NATO will be paying America back “for everything.”
Trump said, “And in all cases, the United States gets paid back in full. So what’s happening, as you know, is the European Union, if you look, mostly European Union stuff, but let’s put it in the form of NATO, it’s very similar, but NATO’s going to pay us back for everything.”
