The move follows a heated meeting last week between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Donald Trump in the White House
The Trump administration is pausing all aid to Ukraine,including weapons in transit or in Poland, until Ukrainian leaders show more appreciation for U.S. support and a commitment to peace, Fox News has learned.
The pause comes days after a contentious meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Donald Trump in the White House over how to end the three-year conflict initiated by Russia.
“President Trump has been clear that he is focused on peace,” a White House official told Fox News. “We need our partners to be committed to that goal as well. We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution.”
A senior Trump administration official also told Fox News that military aid will remain on hold until Ukrainian leaders show a commitment to good faith peace negotiations.
“This is not permanent termination of aid, it’s a pause,” the official emphasized. “The orders are going out right now.”
