President Donald Trump ordered a pause to all military aid to Ukraine, turning up the heat on Volodymyr Zelenskiy just days after an Oval Office blowup with the Ukrainian president left the support of his country’s most important ally in doubt.
The US is pausing all current military aid to Ukraine until Trump determines the country’s leaders demonstrate a good-faith commitment to peace, according to a senior Defense Department official, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations.
It’s exactly how trump operates. See the threat he posted this morning to block federal funding to universities that “let students protest” - he’s going to block funding anyway, he just needs a plausible way to blame them for it.
Same thing here - a plausible way to blame Ukraine for withdrawing US support.
Plausible to maga anyway.
