President Trump ordered a pause on all US military aid to Ukraine Monday, days after he kicked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky out of the White House following a heated Oval Office meeting between the leaders.
A US official said the pause will remain in effect until Ukrainian officials demonstrate a good-faith commitment to peace negotiations, according to multiple outlets.
“This is not permanent termination of aid, it’s a pause,” a Trump administration official told Fox News. “The orders are going out right now.”
The official noted that the temporary pause is a direct response to Zelensky’s conduct over the last week.
Trump has ordered Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to execute the directive, which will halt the shipment of all US military equipment not already in Ukraine, including weapons in Europe that were heading toward the war-torn country.
The White House, State Department and Pentagon did not immediately respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
