President Donald Trump has temporarily halted U.S. military aid to Ukraine following a tense White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The decision comes as Trump pushes Ukraine to negotiate peace with Russia, expressing frustration over what he sees as Zelenskyy’s reluctance to pursue a deal.
The suspension affects ongoing U.S. military assistance, including weapons, raising concerns among European allies. The meeting reportedly turned heated, with Trump criticizing Zelenskyy for lacking gratitude toward U.S. support and warning that his leadership could be at risk.
European leaders reaffirmed their support for Ukraine, while Russia welcomed the development, seeing potential alignment with Trump’s policies. This move introduces uncertainty into U.S.-Ukraine relations.
