Breaking: Trump Halts Military Aid to Ukraine After Oval Office Conflict with Zelensky

President Donald Trump has paused all U.S. military aid to Ukraine following last week’s tense Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Military aid, including weapons in transit and in Poland, will be cut off until Trump believes that Zelensky is willing to negotiate peace with Russia, a Department of Defense official told Bloomberg.

The pause follows a contentious White House shouting match between Trump, Zelensky, and Vice President JD Vance, in which U.S. officials repeatedly stressed that Zelensky did not appear grateful enough for America’s continued support for Ukraine. Trump threatened on Monday that Zelensky “won't be around very long” if he doesn't commit to good-faith peace negotiations.

“This is not permanent termination of aid, it’s a pause,” a senior Trump official added to Fox News. “The orders are going out right now.”
