BREAKING: President Trump acknowledges withholding funds from Ukraine ahead of call pressuring the country's leader.
"As far as withholding funds, those funds were paid," Trump said."They were fully paid. But my complaint has always been — and I'd withhold again, and I'll continue to withhold until such time as Europe and other nations contribute to Ukraine, because they're not doing it."
"Very important, I want other countries to put up money," he added."I think it's unfair that we put up the money. Then other people call me. They said, 'Oh, let it go.' And I let it go. But we paid the money, the money was paid.""And that's been my complaint from the beginning," he said.
