U.S. President Donald Trump has denied allegations that the delay in U.S. military aid to Ukraine had something to do with the family of former Vice President Joe Biden.
Trump told this to reporters before departing for Houston on Sunday, September 22, according to Fox News.
"When asked about why he delayed military aid to Ukraine, Trump said it had nothing to do with the Biden family," the report reads.
"Because I want Germany, and I want France, and I want the European Union to put up money," Trump said.
"And I didn't delay anything. We paid the military aid to the best of my knowledge," he added.
On September 19, the House of Representatives of the U.S. Congress passed legislation providing $250 million in defense assistance to Ukraine after the end of the current fiscal year in the United States.
Earlier, Trump's administration unblocked funds from Ukraine's defense and security programs the financing of which was approved in the budgets of the Department of State and the Pentagon.
