Trump Quietly Approves $30 Million in Arms for Ukraine
The Trump administration recently approved a $30 million transfer of major defense equipment to Ukraine, following an earlier, undisclosed $242 million arms transfer. This approval comes amidst ongoing congressional questioning regarding the administration’s use of presidential drawdown authorities for Ukraine. Despite earlier aid freezes and concerns raised by Senator Coons about the lack of additional air defense systems, the administration asserts that military aid continues under the Arms Export Control Act. The aid continues despite calls for a negotiated peace with Russia.
