Trump: Europe has spent more on purchasing Russian oil and gas than on helping Ukraine.


US President Donald Trump announced on the social network Truth Social the introduction of new tariffs on imported agricultural products. He urged American farmers to produce more for the domestic market, as tariffs on foreign goods will be imposed starting April 2. This decision corresponds to Trump's protectionist course aimed at supporting domestic producers and limiting imports.
Moreover, Trump criticized European partners for their energy policy towards Russia. He noted that Europe has spent more money on purchasing Russian oil and gas than on defending Ukraine. Overall, this indicates the unwillingness of European leaders to confront Russia and support Ukraine.
It is worth noting that Trump previously criticized Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky for his statement about the distant end of the war. He accused Zelensky of not wanting to achieve peace as long as Ukraine has the support of the US. Trump also pointed out that European leaders emphasized at the meeting that without the US, they would not manage to support Ukraine.
