Trump Administration Halts Military Aid to Ukraine

Background

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – The U.S. pledged over $65 billion in military aid to Ukraine under former U.S. President Joe Biden, but President Trump suspended it temporarily after a heated Oval Office clash with Ukraine’s president, casting doubt on support from its key ally.

The U.S. is halting all military aid to Ukraine until President Trump is satisfied that its leaders are committed to peace, according to a senior U.S. officials speaking with outlets including the Associated Press, Bloomberg and Axios.

The pause, which includes freezing equipment in transit, will begin immediately. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been ordered to implement the pause, which will remain in place until Trump determines Ukraine’s leaders have shown a good-faith commitment to peace.

“President Trump has been clear that he is focused on peace,” a White House official told Axios. “We need our partners to be committed to that goal as well. We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution.”

Trump criticized Ukrainian President Zelenskyy on Monday, referencing an Associated Press article where Zelenskyy reportedly said, “An agreement to end the war is still very, very far away, and no one has started all these steps yet. The peace that we foresee in the future must be just, honest, and most importantly, sustainable.”

In response, Trump said, “President Zelenskyy supposedly made a statement today on AP, I’m not a big fan of AP, so maybe it was an incorrect statement, but he said he thinks the war is going to go on for a long time, and he better not be right about that. That’s all I’m saying.”

Trump later posted on Truth Social in response to the AP article, “This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer! It is what I was saying, this guy doesn’t want there to be Peace as long as he has America’s backing and, Europe, in the meeting they had with Zelenskyy, stated flatly that they cannot do the job without the U.S. – Probably not a great statement to have been made in terms of a show of strength against Russia. What are they thinking?”

President Trump speaking to reporters late on Monday stated, “It should not be that hard a deal to make. It could be made very fast. Now, maybe somebody doesn’t want to make a deal, and if that’s the case, I think that person won’t be around very long.”

This marks the latest in the widening rift between Washington and Kyiv, as the war enters its third year, claiming hundreds of thousands of lives, with no peace in sight.
