Trump considers halting military aid to Ukraine after heated white house meeting latest news: U.S. President Donald Trump is consider terminating of ongoing shipments of military assistance to Ukraine after a tense exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a White House meeting on February 28.
The 45-minute meeting broke up without agreement on a mineral pact. Trump, visibly exasperated, directed his officials to instruct the Ukrainian team to depart the White House, protesting the Ukrainian side. Zelensky has been pressuring the U.S. to keep sending weapons to Ukraine as a security assurance that would place Kyiv in a stronger position for future peace talks with Russia.
Since January 20, when Trump took office, his administration had leaned toward halting all assistance to Ukraine but continued to ship arms initiated by the earlier Biden administration.
Trump issued an executive order on his first day in office, suspending funding for foreign aid for 90 days. The United States has given Ukraine $65.9 billion in military assistance since the beginning of Russia's all-out invasion in February 2022.
But opposing groups in the Trump administration have been arguing about whether the U.S. should keep giving weapons. The prospects for American military aid to Ukraine are up in the air as the Trump administration struggles with intra-administration disputes and the aftermath of the contentious Oval Office confrontation.
