Yes. On September 3, 2026, President Donald Trump said he would ask European nations to pay the United States back for military aid and munitions previously sent to Ukraine under the Biden administration. In a Truth Social post, he claimed “hundreds of billions of dollars” went to Ukraine and NATO free of charge and that Europe would have paid if asked, adding the United States would now seek that money “somewhat belatedly.”
Trump did not name which countries should pay. The same post said the U.S. was keeping munitions for itself amid the Iran war rather than selling them to others, but that sales to allies would resume soon. Separately, a U.S.-NATO Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List initiative already has European countries paying to supply Ukraine with U.S. weapons.
