Trump pauses all US military aid to Ukraine after heated Oval Office meeting with Zelensky

President Trump ordered a pause on all US military aid to Ukraine Monday, days after he kicked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky out of the White House following a heated Oval Office meeting between the leaders.

The pause will remain in effect until Ukrainian officials demonstrate a good-faith commitment to peace negotiations, a White House official told The Post.

“The President has been clear that he is focused on peace,” the official said. “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.”

The official noted that the temporary pause is a direct response to Zelensky’s conduct over the last week.

Trump has ordered Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to execute the directive, which will halt the shipment of all US military equipment not already in Ukraine, including weapons in Europe that were heading toward the war-torn country.

“The President has been clear that he is focused on peace,” a White House official told The Post. “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.”
