As usual, what Trump says about this and what the Russians say about it are completely different. Trump always raises expectations in the US so he can later blame Ukraine when talks fail because of Russian intransigence.

Children are dying because Trump gutted USAID and cut lifesaving foreign aid — even though it took up less than 1% of the U.S. budget.

Meanwhile, he's preparing to dole out $40 billion to prop up Argentina's failing economy, all to help out his authoritarian pal.

Priorities.

Gaza has 2.2 million people. In 2 years, 10% of the population has been killed or wounded. Their entire infrastructure has been destroyed.

Instead of giving more military aid to Netanyahu’s extremist government, the US must work with the international community to rebuild Gaza.
