The US economy was growing at an annual rate of 2.3% in the final quarter of 2024 .
Inflation under Biden peaked at 9.1% in June 2022 - the highest level since 1981 .
The inflation rate had dropped to 3% by the time Trump took office.
Trump said the US has spent $ 350bn on Ukraine but Europe has spent more money than the US .
Some figures suggest Europe spent more as whole when all aid to Ukraine is included.
The US Department of Defense has a higher figure of $ 182.8bn - but this is still considerably less than Trump 's figure.
