Former President Donald Trump is considering a “loan” system for future Ukraine aid if he becomes president.
Trump mentioned the proposed form of funding during his meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson on Friday.
“We’re looking at it right now, and they’re talking about it, and we’re thinking about making it in the form of a loan instead of just a gift,” he said during the media event at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.
He added, “We keep handing out gifts of billions and billions of dollars, and we’ll take a look at it.”
Trump has been highly critical of the United States’ financial support to Ukraine, claiming that money has been spent without clear improvement in the conflict.
It’s not the first time Trump has floated the loan idea — he once expressed such a format for aid via a message on his propietary social media website Truth Social.
