The United States has significantly revised its estimated aid to Ukraine since Russia’s 2022 invasion, reducing the figure from $300 billion to roughly $100 billion, according to a Bloomberg News report citing insider sources.
This substantial adjustment comes as former U.S. President Donald Trump pursues a bilateral minerals deal with Ukraine. The deal, pitched as part of a broader peace initiative, aims not only to help bring an end to the ongoing war but also to serve as a strategic move to offset the cost of American military support.
Although the aid was not initially structured as a loan, Trump has repeatedly raised concerns over the scale of U.S. financial involvement in Ukraine’s defence. He now views the potential mineral partnership as a means of balancing the books and securing returns on America’s investment in the conflict.
