According to the Wall Street Journal, U.S. President Donald J. Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a phone call last Friday that he was not behind the decision to halt weapons shipments to Kyiv. Trump explained that he had ordered a review of munitions stockpiles following last month’s U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, but did not instruct the Defense Department to suspend arms deliveries. He suggested the pause may have been initiated independently by Defense Secretary Hegseth or the Pentagon, without his authorization.
