While Europe is worried about financial support from kyiv with the election of Donald Trump at the head of the White House, the Republican's eldest son made fun of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on social networks this Sunday, claiming that the latter was going to lose his “pocket money”.
“POV (point of view, editor’s note): you are 38 days away from losing your pocket money.” This Sunday, November 10, the eldest son of the future President of the United States, Donald Trump Jr., posted an ephemeral story on Instagram of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, attesting, with dubious humor, that the leader was going to lose his financial support, of which the United States is the main donor.
In addition to the message, the Instagram story was accompanied by a video of the Ukrainian leader, with a blank look, before Donald Trump appeared at his side, making the colors disappear, while dollar bills fell in a cascade.
The term “38 days” refers to December 17, the day when the electors of each state meet to vote for the president and vice-president across the Atlantic, based on the results counted on election day.
Europe in worry
If no official announcement has been made since his election on November 6, many are wondering, particularly in Europe, about Donald Trump's future approach to the war in Ukraine and the measures he plans to take to end the conflict.
And for good reason, the elected Republican strongly criticized the administration of Joe Biden, which has spent more than 64 billion dollars on security assistance to Ukraine since the invasion of the nation by Russia in February 2022, according to figures from the US State Department.
