Trump administration to pause future deliveries of military aid to Ukraine
President Donald Trump has decided to pause all future deliveries of U.S. military assistance to Ukraine in an extraordinary move aimed at pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into peace talks with Russia, said two U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
U.S. military support for Ukraine has been essential to fending off Russia’s invading forces, but what started as a conflict with widespread bipartisan support has fractured along partisan lines amid doubts about the war’s costs and a diplomatic off-ramp.
“The president has been clear that he is focused on peace. We need our partners to be committed to that goal as well,” said a White House official who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive policy deliberations. “We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution.”
