President Donald Trump has hit the brakes on U.S. military aid to Ukraine following a heated Oval Office exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The White House confirmed the decision on Monday, stating that the aid package is under review to ensure it aligns with efforts to resolve the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict.
According to reports, the freeze will remain in place until Trump is convinced that Ukraine’s leadership is genuinely committed to peace negotiations with Russia. While the exact timeline for resuming aid remains uncertain, sources indicate that assistance will not resume until clear progress is made.
This decision follows a fiery meeting between Trump, Zelensky, and Vice President J.D. Vance, where tensions ran high in front of news cameras. The fallout from their confrontation now raises questions about the future of U.S.-Ukraine relations as the war continues.
