🚨Pentagon chief halted military aid to Ukraine without Trump's approval.

Some Pentagon staffers advised Hegseth to suspend aid.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί

Trump did not give the order to stop aid to Ukraine on Jan 30, the order to cancel all flights with weapons was issued by Def Secretary Pete Hegsett, who simply misunderstood Trump during discussions. The order to stop military aid caught the White House by surprise.

2/9 Image
Senior officials at the meeting were not aware of the order. Trump did not give a clear instruction to stop it. As a result, Hegsett's order surprised many, including heads of departments at the Pentagon & the State Department, to put it mildly.
