What did Donald Trump claim about foreign policy on 27 Jul 2025?
Donald Trump, President of the United States ·
We gave $60 million 2 weeks ago for food for Gaza. And nobody acknowledged it. Nobody talks about it. And it makes you feel a little bad when you do that and, you know, you have other countries not giving anything. None of the European countries, by the way, gave—I mean, nobody gave but us and nobody said, "Gee, thank you very much."
European countries did give. In July 2025, before he spoke, Finland paid about $2.84 million and Slovenia about $468,000 to the World Food Programme for food aid in the Palestinian territories.
The UN's Financial Tracking Service records European governments paying for food aid in the Occupied Palestinian Territory before he spoke: Finland paid $2,840,909 to the World Food Programme for 'Food Security - Food Assistance' dated July 1, 2025, and Slovenia paid $467,836 to the World Food Programme for 'Food Security -gaza' dated July 15, 2025, both under the 2025 Flash Appeal for the Occupied Palestinian Territory (UN OCHA Financial Tracking Service).
