Trump Working on Plan to Claw Back $350 Billion Biden Sent to Ukraine

President Donald Trump asserts that Ukraine will pay back the $350 billion the U.S. sent to the country to fight Russia as he moves forward with efforts to bring peace to the region.

While speaking to reporters briefly before flying to Daytona Beach for the Daytona 500, the president announced that the $350 billion sent to the Zelensky regime would be repaid to the U.S.

Trump suggested the funds were allocated without safeguards for U.S. interests, emphasizing the need for “security on our money.”

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is now negotiating the terms under which Ukraine would provide the United States with a significant portion of its rare earth minerals, oil, and gas reserves.

Such resources are vital to industries such as technology and defense and could bolster both strategic interests and the U.S. economy.

Watch:

Here is the transcript.

Reporter: Would you support Zelinsky’s seeding territory or exchanging territory in any agreement to end the war?

President Trump: Well, he’s going to have to do what he has to do, but his poll numbers aren’t particularly great, to put it mildly. He’s got a country where it’s been savaged and attacked, and he’s got an army that’s been very, very brave, actually, despite the fact that we’ve given him, in my opinion, $350 billion. That’s what the number is. You don’t hear that number. And Europe has given, in my opinion, $100 billion. And they’ve done it in the form of a loan.

And I have a Secretary of Treasury right now who’s actually quite brave. He’s over in Ukraine on a train, and there’s a lot of things happening around that train that aren’t so good. And he’s going there to get a document done where we’re going to be assured that we’re going to, in some form, get this money back because we’re putting up far more money than Europe.

And Europe is in far more danger than we are. We have an ocean in between. Europe has nothing in between. You know what they have in between? They have Ukraine in between. So as you know, Europe is putting up money, and they’re getting it in the form of a loan.

And the United States, under Biden, didn’t do loans. They just handed money. Every time somebody walked in from Ukraine, they just handed them money foolishly. This should have never happened. It should have never started. And once it did, other things should have happened. Other things should have taken place. So we’re getting security on our money. We’re going to have it secured by… They have raw earth, and they have oil and gas, and they have a lot of other things. And we’re asking for security on our money. So does it mean you are not sending any more aid to Ukraine? They’ve agreed to it. Ukraine has agreed to it.

Reporter: Does it mean you are not sending any more aid to Ukraine?

President Trump: No, we are, but we want it secured, and the money is going to be secured..

Thousands of Secret JFK Assassination Files Discovered by Trump’s FBI

The FBI under President Donald Trump discovered thousands of unsubmitted records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Two thousand four hundred records tied to the assassination of the former president were uncovered by officials after Trump ordered that all documents be released.

The records were meant to be transferred to the JFK Assassination Records Review Board and the National Archives in compliance with the 1992 JFK Records Act but remained hidden. The classified records are among 14,000 pages of documents uncovered during the FBI review ordered by Trump.

“This is huge. It shows the FBI is taking this seriously,” said Jefferson Morley, an expert on the assassination. “The FBI is finally saying, ‘Let’s respond to the president’s order,’ instead of keeping the secrecy going.”

However, various U.S. intelligence agencies requested that some redactions be made to protect sources and methods. White House staffers said Trump would “hit the roof” if there were any attempts to prevent the disclosure of the records.

After more JFK files were made public in 2022, the National Archives and Records Administration stated that 97% of the 5 million pages were available to the public. However, around 3,000 documents remained classified, and an additional 30,000 had redactions.

Elon Musk Considers Ron Paul to Audit The Federal Reserve

Elon Musk is considering appointing former Congressman Ron Paul and “End the Fed” author to lead an audit team within DOGE, targeting the Federal Reserve.

The news follows a suggestion from X user Liam McCollum, who proposed that “DOGE and @elonmusk should let @RonPaul lead a Federal Reserve audit team.”

Musk immediately responded, stating, “Good idea.”

Paul is a well-known critic of the Federal Reserve and has long advocated for increased transparency.

His potential involvement with DOGE could deal a significant blow to the Federal Reserve and aligns with the Trump administration’s mission to enhance governmental efficiency and reduce waste.

Furthermore, this move could spark a major shift in the oversight of the nation’s central banking system.

Unsurprisingly, a federal judge in New York temporarily blocked DOGE’s access to the Treasury Department’s payment systems last week, as establishment elites fight tooth and nail to conceal their fraud.

Musk’s consideration of Ron Paul highlights his commitment to reforming federal operations and could bring renewed scrutiny to the Federal Reserve’s controversial practices.

Auditing the Federal Reserve is something Paul has been pushing for decades.

To quote Ron Paul: “There is no authority in the constitution authorizing a central bank, which means there should be no federal reserve system.”

Mario Nawfal explained:

Paul himself has not yet commented on Musk’s offer.

Just 294 out of 14,000 USAID Employees Identified as “Essential”

Following a review of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), a measly 294 of the agency’s 14,000 employees have been deemed essential to administering civilian foreign aid.

The internal review appears to have been initiated by President Donald Trump’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who is currently serving as the agency’s acting director.

The news comes as Sec. Rubio began transferring the few core programs within USAID intended to serve U.S. national interests into the State Department.

The move signals that the agency may soon be abolished.

President Donald Trump is expected to place most USAID staff on leave, while the 294 workers deemed essential will be the few staff directed to remain at their posts.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) revealed the agency’s eye-watering expenditures.

According to the data, almost 90 percent of Ukrainian media relies on the U.S. federal aid agency to operate.

It was also uncovered that George Soros’s organizations received $260 million in taxpayer money disbursed by USAID.

Sec. Rubio noted how USAID was operating as if it were funded by U.S. taxpayers.

On Monday, former senior advisor to Trump, Stephen Miller, said the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) operated as a financial pipeline for left-wing causes.

Miller said USAID used taxpayer dollars to fund global gender surgeries, diversity and inclusion programs, and climate initiatives.

As President Trump moves to cut off USAID funding, Miller noted that agency officials are in total panic.

“Yes, the USAID was a slush fund, first of all, for left-wing projects around the globe, like gender surgeries around the world, diversity, equity and inclusion policies, crazy Green New Deal, climate scams, and every other lunatic left-wing project that is bankrupting this country,” Miller said.

Miller said these groups use government money to influence the corporate and public sectors and to resettle millions of illegal immigrants at the expense of taxpayers.

“But even beyond that, it was funding an army of left-wing activists, these NGOs, non-governmental organizations,” he said.

Taylor Swift’s Boyfriend Says Having Trump at Super Bowl Will Be a “Great Honor”

Kansas City Chiefs tight end and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, stated that it is a “great honor” to have President Donald Trump attend Super Bowl LIX.

During media day on Wednesday, when asked to react to the news that Trump would attend the Super Bowl, Kelce said, “That’s awesome. It’s a great honor.”

“I think, you know, no matter who the president is, I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life. Having the president there — it’s the best country in the world — and that’s pretty cool.”

Kelce’s comments come just months after Taylor Swift received harsh criticism from Trump following her endorsement of then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

Not long after Swift announced her support for Harris, Trump said he “was not a fan of Taylor Swift.” He added: “It was just a question of time… But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.”

During an episode of the Kelce brothers’ podcast, New Heights, in 2024, Travis Kelce said it is “always an honor” to visit the White House, regardless of who is sitting in the Oval Office.

“Anytime I get a chance to be recognized by the president of the United States and get to go with my teammates and a group of men and women that I had success with to the point we get acknowledged,” he said, “I’m doing it every time, no matter who’s up there at the helm. No matter what’s going on in this world, it’s just such a cool opportunity.”

Former President Joe Biden invited Travis to the White House in May 2024 after the Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII, which was held in Las Vegas.

During the press conference, Travis joked:

“My fellow Americans, I’m going to be honest, President Biden, they told me I’d get tased if I came up here, so I’m going back to my spot.”

Stephen Miller Suggests USAID “Funneled Money to Organizations that Traffic Children”

Former Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller criticized the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for implementing policies that undermine border security, alleging that these policies have allowed child traffickers free rein under the Biden administration.

Miller asserted that President Donald Trump now has the authority to take action against USAID’s funding decisions.

“So he has plenary authority to carry out the foreign policy of the United States. Bureaucrats at USAID cannot interfere in the affairs of foreign countries to prop up regimes, thwart America’s interests, facilitate mass illegal immigration, or promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies that violate federal civil rights law,” Miller stated.

He further argued that USAID and other agencies have helped fund organizations that advocate for open borders.

“All of this violates federal civil rights law. The President is at the apex of authority here. Moreover, as you mentioned, Congress doesn’t dictate to these agencies how to spend the money. Agencies exercise discretion when awarding grants and contracts,” Miller explained.

He added that funds currently directed toward non-governmental organizations (NGOs) supporting open borders can now be redirected to strengthen border security efforts and deportations.

“For example, these NGOs that promote open borders receive tens of billions of dollars. Congress never passed a law giving those organizations that money. President Trump can pause all those funds,” he said.

Miller also emphasized that agencies have the power not only to halt funding but also to redirect it toward initiatives that enhance border enforcement.

“Not only can the agencies pause those funds, but they can also reallocate them to organizations that support border security, deport illegal aliens, track down criminal aliens, and provide detention for dangerous illegal immigrants in this country,” he said.

Ilhan Omar Suffers Wild Meltdown Over “Dictator” Trump for Cutting Government Agency

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) had a meltdown on Monday, accusing President Donald Trump of being a “dictator” for cutting bloated government agencies and saving taxpayer money.

Omar argued that reducing unnecessary government spending was somehow the first step toward “dictatorship.”

“It is really, really a sad day in America,” Omar said. “We are witnessing a constitutional crisis. We talked about Trump wanting to be a dictator on day one, and here we are. This is what the beginning of dictatorship looks like.”

Omar claimed that government agencies like USAID are essential to America’s “soft power” abroad.

“What Trump, Elon, and all of their cronies are trying to do is take away the constitutional power of Congress,” she raged. “We get to decide where money is allocated.”

However, USAID and other government programs have faced criticism over their lack of oversight.

Omar also suggested that layoffs don’t actually save money since workers might still receive pay while at home.

“Do you want people at home getting a paycheck and not providing services to you?” she asked. “The answer is no.

Deep State in PANIC as Elon Musk Gains Access to Treasury Department’s Critical Payment System

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is already sending shockwaves through the political establishment after gaining access to the Treasury Department’s critical payment system, which processes approximately $5 trillion in annual government disbursements.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent authorized DOGE’s access following the abrupt departure of longtime Treasury official David Lebryk, who had repeatedly blocked Musk’s attempts to gain control. Lebryk announced his retirement after being placed on administrative leave, marking a significant shift in Treasury operations.

The payment system handles essential government functions, including payments for Social Security and Medicare. Industry experts are now warning that any disruption could trigger widespread economic instability.

However, Musk defended the move on his social media platform, X.

The Tesla CEO revealed that his team had discovered “payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed to always approve payments, even to fraudulent or terrorist groups.”

Musk claimed these officers “literally never denied a payment in their entire career.”

In a farewell letter to Treasury employees, Lebryk emphasized the critical nature of their work:

“The Fiscal Service performs some of the most vital functions in government. Our work may be unknown to most of the public, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t exceptionally important.”

Treasury official Mark Mazur reinforced the system’s traditionally apolitical nature, stating, “This is a mechanical job—they pay Social Security benefits, they pay vendors, whatever.”

“It’s not one where there’s a role for nonmechanical things, at least from the career standpoint. Your whole job is to pay the bills as they’re due,” he added.

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, warned that “officials associated with Musk may have intended to access these payment systems to illegally withhold payments to any number of programs.”

Wyden later questioned whether granting Musk access was appropriate.

Over the weekend, two senior officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) were placed on administrative leave after refusing DOGE access to their systems. Musk later took to social media, calling USAID “evil” and “a viper’s nest of radical-left Marxists who hate America.”

Fetterman Breaks Ranks, Calls on Dems to Support Trump’s “Deportation of Criminals”

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has urged fellow Democrats to support President Donald Trump’s deportation of illegal aliens with criminal backgrounds, pushing back against sanctuary city officials who vowed to resist enforcement.

During an appearance on Fox News with host Shannon Bream, Fetterman addressed the growing opposition from Democratic leaders who have refused to assist U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in deporting criminal illegal aliens.

Fetterman made his stance clear, emphasizing that local officials should cooperate with the federal government: “I hope every local official would agree that any migrants here with criminal backgrounds or engaging in criminal behavior should be deported. Now, if ICE comes to round them up, I hope they would provide that kind of support,” Fetterman said.

Trump’s executive orders declaring a national emergency at the southern border have accelerated efforts to address illegal immigration.

The order allows ICE agents to aggressively target and deport criminal aliens.

However, Fetterman clarified that he does not support indiscriminate raids on non-criminal illegal aliens:

“I certainly would never support terrorizing otherwise innocent migrants in those kinds of situations or kicking in a door at a school,” Fetterman said. “But I think we can all agree that every migrant here with a criminal background or engaging in criminal behavior needs to go.”

Meanwhile, several Democratic mayors continue to resist cooperation with federal authorities.

Those opposing Trump’s deportation initiatives include: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Tucson Mayor Regina Romero, and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston.

Speaker Johnson recently stated: “We will continue to protect civil and human rights and welcome all individuals and families who want to work, live, and thrive.”

However, the Trump administration has pushed back against resistance from sanctuary cities. Border Czar Tom Homan and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem have vowed that ICE operations will continue across the country.

“The reality is, these sanctuary cities and their laws have caused us problems. They are limiting some of the tools we want in our toolbox, but we’re going to continue our operations, show results in other cities, and tell our story to the American people,” Noem said in a recent appearance on Fox News.

Tom Homan Destroys Joy Reid After Immigration Remarks: She’s “Dumber than a Box of Rocks”

Border czar Tom Homan slammed MSNBC host Joy Reid for remarks on the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts, calling her “dumber than a box of rocks.”

The nationwide ICE operations have already led to the arrest of 4,500 violent criminals, including gang members, kidnappers, murderers, and rapists. The efforts are moving quickly to make America’s cities safe again, another promise President Donald Trump is fulfilling.

During Reid’s show, she referred to the raids as “performative,” while New York Attorney General Letitia James said the enforcement actions were “reckless.”

Watch:

Homan responded to the remarks by saying, “She’s dumber than a box of rocks,” referring to Reid.

“What ICE did in Chicago is saved children. What we did in New York today is save children.”

“Just in Chicago alone, we arrested at least nine sexual predators, most of them child sex predators. We took them off the street,” he stated.

Highlighting the concerns over national security and noting the rise in individuals on the terrorist watch list crossing into the U.S. under Biden, Homan said, “Under Biden, we had a 3,500% increase in people on terrorist watch lists. No, we’re saving this nation.”

“We make America safe again. So they need to get out of the way because we’re coming. We’re going to do it. They’re not going to stop us.”

Earlier this week, ICE reported 1,016 arrests and 814 detainers lodged. The surge in illegal crossings under the Biden administration pushed the country to breaking point, and now it is being reversed by Trump.

Reid’s overage of immigration enforcement saw backlash on social media, with many accusing her of downplaying the risks posed by illegal immigration.

Meanwhile, Conservative commentators said Reid’s rhetoric misrepresents the dangers posed by unchecked migration and undermines ICE’s efforts.
