During a Cabinet meeting, President Trump deflected questions regarding a recent pause in weapons shipments to Ukraine, admitting he did not know who ordered the halt. Trump stated that defensive weapons were being sent, despite the Pentagon’s previous pause, which was reportedly ordered by Secretary Pete Hegseth without the President’s direct approval. This marks the third time Hegseth has unilaterally halted such shipments, while also advising Ukraine to relinquish its claims on seized territory. Trump’s reversal of the pause and critical comments on Putin suggest a shifting stance toward Russia and its ongoing actions in Ukraine.
