    "“United States, Ukraine and France. Together on this historic day.
    United for Notre-Dame. Let’s continue to work together for peace and security,” Macron wrote on X afterward.

    Trump’s victory last month threw into doubt the Biden administration's
    flow of money and arms to Ukraine — aid bolstered even more on Saturday
    by U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's announcement of a $988 million
    package that brings American military support to more than $62 billion
    since Russia’s invasion in February 2022.

    Trump has characterized Zelenskyy as “the greatest salesman on Earth”
    for winning billions in U.S. aid. Trump also has said he work out a
    peace deal between Russia and Ukraine within a day of taking office and
    has promoted his good relationship with Russian President Vladimir
    Putin."

    $62 billion means about $177,000 per Americans over the past 1020 days,
    or $174 per American per day. What does the money buy for Americans?
