Donald Trump’s son has appeared to mock Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky over losing their American “allowance” when his father returns to the White House.

In a post on Instagram on Saturday, Donald Trump Jr re-shared a video of Mr Zelensky looking unhappy alongside Donald Trump with the caption: “POV: You’re 38 days from losing your allowance.”

The camera focuses on Mr Zelensky’s face as the video turns to black-and-white and US dollar notes fall in front of the Ukrainian president.

The video was originally posted by Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska and Republican vice presidential nominee.
