Who paused Ukraine weapons a mystery to El Trumpo - steve... - 07-09-2025
Apparently it was former inebriated strip club patron (now US Secretary of Defense) Hegseth who signed off on the suspension and didn't inform Trump or his Secretary of State about the decision. Only the best!
First few paragraphs from CNN:
Hegseth did not inform the White House before he authorized pause on weapon shipments to Ukraine, sources say
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth did not inform the White House before he authorized a pause on weapons shipments to Ukraine last week, according to five sources familiar with the matter, setting off a scramble inside the administration to understand why the halt was implemented and explain it to Congress and the Ukrainian government.
President Donald Trump suggested on Tuesday that he was not responsible for the move. Asked on Tuesday during a Cabinet meeting whether he approved of the pause in shipments, Trump demurred, saying only that the US would continue to send defensive weapons to Ukraine. Pressed again on who authorized the pause, Trump replied, “I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?”
The episode underscores the often-haphazard policy-making process inside the Trump administration, particularly under Hegseth at the Defense Department. The pause was the second time this year that Hegseth had decided to halt the flow of US weapons to Ukraine, catching senior national security officials off guard, sources said.
