Trump pauses military aid for Ukraine
US President Donald Trump is pausing all military aid for Ukraine after a disastrous Oval Office meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, last week.
A White House official says Washington is reviewing whether billions of dollars given to Kyiv are contributing to a “solution” to end Ukraine’s war against invading Russian forces.
The move comes hours after Trump accused Zelenskyy of not wanting peace “as long as he has America’s backing” and is likely to deal a serious blow to Ukraine’s efforts to repel Russia’s invasion.
Trump also says the sweeping 25 percent tariffs on Mexico and Canada will go into effect on Tuesday and promises to add on another 10 percent tariff on goods from China, on top of the initial 10 percent he put in place last month.
