White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates made a corresponding statement. He noted that "encouraging incursions" into the territory of the United States' closest allies is "horrifying and insane."

“And it threatens American national security, global stability and our domestic economy,” Bates was quoted as saying by The Guardian.

Earlier, Trump made a proposal to transfer all aid to foreign countries into loan format. His words came against the backdrop of a discussion of the draft law on assistance to Ukraine.
