Summary

At CPAC, Donald Trump falsely claimed Europe had contributed less aid to Ukraine than the U.S. and demanded Ukraine repay America with mineral rights.

He again refused to acknowledge Russia started the war and framed both sides as equal victims.

Trump called Ukraine’s leader a “dictator” while praising Putin, aligning with CPAC attendees who showed increasing pro-Russia sentiment.

His speech also included election lies, vaccine conspiracies, and personal attacks.
