Trump Aide Halted Ukraine Aid Flights Secretly | JQJO

Reuters reports that during Trump's second term, US military flights carrying weapons to Ukraine were halted for several days due to a verbal order from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The order, originating from Hegseth's office, wasn't known to other top national security officials, including President Trump. While the White House claims the pause was a deliberate policy decision, it cost $1.6 million and highlights the chaotic policymaking within the Trump administration. The flights resumed within a week, but the incident exposed internal disagreements on Ukraine aid and an unclear command structure within the Pentagon.
