Read the transcript of the call. At no time in the conversation did Trump link any money to any action. In fact, money was never mentioned. The president of Ukraine offered to buy some military hardware. Since Trump had made a point of liking when countries buy our gear.
So, this has become SOP of other countries. Trump actually ignored this offer by the President of Ukraine completely. Instead he focused on asking a favor for their help in an ongoing investigation being conducted by the AG Barr

One could say the president of Ukraine was offering a "goodwill gesture" by his offer to buy US military equipment to smooth relations. I wonder what the Dems and fake media would say of Trump offered to buy Ukrainian gas. 😉
