U.S. President Donald Trump fully suspended military aid to Ukraine after clashing with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the 28th of last month (local time) at the White House in Washington, D.C.
According to a report from Bloomberg News on the 4th, citing an unnamed senior official from the Ministry of National Defense, President Trump instructed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to halt all military aid to Ukraine until its leaders show a willingness for peace.
The official explained that all U.S. military equipment that has not yet arrived in Ukraine is subject to this suspension, including weapons being transported by aircraft and ships or those awaiting at transit points in Poland.
Bloomberg News noted, "It is unclear exactly how much aid will be affected by this order," adding that "when President Trump took office, $3.85 billion in aid remained through the 'presidential emergency weapon support authority' left by the previous administration."
Earlier, President Trump and President Zelensky had a heated discussion over a peace agreement at the White House. When President Zelensky repeatedly raised the issue of security guarantees, President Trump said, "If we don't negotiate, we're going to fall behind."
President Trump expressed outrage on social media about President Zelensky's remark that the war with Russia is far from over, stating, "This is the worst statement made by Zelensky. The U.S. will no longer tolerate this."
