PRESIDENT of the United States of America Donald Trump has paused military aid to Ukraine as he seeks to pressure the Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy after Friday’s heated White House meeting.
This decision halts the delivery of billions in assistance, including advanced weaponry, amid escalating tensions between the two leaders.
The suspension comes after a contentious exchange where Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Zelenskyy’s approach to peace negotiations with Russia, urging a more committed effort toward resolving the conflict.
Trump emphasized the need to reassess U.S. aid to ensure it contributes effectively to a peaceful solution.
This abrupt halt in military support has raised concerns among Ukrainian advocacy groups, who fear it may embolden Russian aggression and leave Ukraine vulnerable.
The halt in US military aid to Ukraine is coming on the heels of the Trump administration’s bypass of Congress, sending $4 billion US arms aid to Israel.
