Washington is “done with the funding” of Ukraine’s war against Russia, JD Vance, the US vice-president, has said, as Europe scrambles to build a united defence before in-person negotiations between Presidents Trump and Putin.
Speaking in an interview after an emergency summit with European and Ukrainian officials, co-hosted by David Lammy at Chevening, the foreign secretary’s mansion in Kent, Vance said Americans were fed up with paying towards the cost of the war.
“What we said to the Europeans is simply, first of all, this is in your neck of the woods. This is in your back door,” he told Fox News. “You guys have got to step up and take a bigger role in this thing. And if you care so much about this conflict, you should be willing to play a more direct and a more substantial way in funding this war yourself, I think the president and I certainly think that America, we’re done with the funding of the Ukraine war business.
“Americans, I think, are sick of continuing to send their money, their tax dollars, to this particular conflict. But if the Europeans want to step up and actually buy the weapons from American producers, we’re OK with that. But we’re not going to fund it ourselves anymore,” he added.
As Trump prepares to meet Putin in Alaska to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine, the US president has suggested a deal would involve Kyiv conceding territory.

I am done with it...
Is Ukraine actually a country?....I read or heard that they never officially drew up their borders.
One little detail you conveniently admit: Yookcrayne is not our friend, nor is it our ally, nor has it ever been.
As far as the US goes, Yookcrayne is just a "black box" used by Deep State and corrupt politicians in the West - and East - to make serious bank and commit nefarious deeds like the Russia! Russia! Russia! anti-Trump hoaxes. On top of that, it's a busted out, hyper corrupt craphole propped up only by US taxpayers' hard earned dollars, which have been used to pay government salaries and pensions there.
Vance just said, "not one more cent," and the vast majority of right-leaning folks agree with him.
Vance is a dunce? Speaking of dunces!
“admit” should be “omit”
Then you heard nonsense. Have you ever seen a map?
