Former President Donald Trump has suggested that he would support Republicans approving Ukraine aid in the form of a loan, but that Europe must "equalize" its efforts to help Ukraine in its war against Russia.

During a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago residence with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), President Trump said they are "thinking about making it in the form of a loan instead of just a gift."

"We keep handing out gifts of billions and billions of dollars, and we'll take a look at it," the former president said.

"But much more importantly to me is the fact that Europe has to step up, and they have to give money. They have to equalize. If they don't equalize I'm very upset about it, because they're affected much more than we are."
