US President Donald Trump called "strange" the question of whether the United States is ready to participate in the reconstruction of Ukraine.
“Well, I think that's a bit of a strange question because we've already provided about $350 billion and I think that's a pretty big contribution“, the American leader said at a joint press conference after his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House.
Meanwhile, Trump denied reports that the US military was planning to leave its military base in Greece at the request of Russia and Turkey.
After a reporter's request for comment, he turned to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegsett, who were present in the room. “Not that!“, the Pentagon chief said, without giving details. Trump then looked back at reporters and said: “This is false information“.
Earlier, the Greek newspaper Dimokratia reported that US authorities had ordered an urgent review of the need to continue operating the military base in Alexandroupolis, Greece, which the Greek government provided to the administration of former US President Joe Biden for weapons transfers to Ukraine and actions against Russia.
