WASHINGTON, August 6. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump criticized European NATO allies for having weak armed forces during a speech in Las Vegas, Nevada. He blamed the Biden administration for jeopardizing US military strength, alleging $350 billion in weapons were transferred to Ukraine. Trump stated Europeans rely too heavily on the US and lack a strong military. "They gave everything, they gave so much away. $350 billion, I would say it is a lot of money," Trump said, though he did not specify how the funds were spent. He has previously accused the Biden administration of transferring weapons worth that amount to Ukraine. Trump also commented on European wealth and military dependence: "I sell everything. They are willing to pay. Europeans have plenty of money... They don't have a good military because they've relied on us too long. I told them - you can't do that," he emphasized.
