Sitting next to the Norwegian Prime Minister today, President Donald Trump told reporters that the U.S. has spent $350 billion to help Ukraine. This is inaccurate. That's nearly double the amount that Congress has approved since the war began. buff.ly/MIHrUI5

So I'm just as surprised as the next guy to hear they might of scammed me. If it's true, one of my junior staffers will be fired, pronto.
