Hegseth’s Ukraine Arms Pause Sparks Trump Admin Chaos

A surprise pause in U.S. weapons shipments to Ukraine by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has exposed deep coordination gaps within the Trump administration. The decision, made without notifying the White House, Congress, or key national security officials, triggered internal confusion and forced President Trump to publicly distance himself from the move. While the Pentagon cited a routine stockpile review, sources say Trump never approved the halt—raising fresh questions about who’s driving military policy and how decisions are being made.
