US EditionPete Hegseth facing new revolt from senators after Ukraine weapons screw-up
UNITED STATES, JUL 10 – Senators from both parties criticize Pete Hegseth after his unilateral delay of Ukraine weapons shipment caused distrust among lawmakers and allies, prompting a presidential reversal.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorized a pause last week on weapons shipments to Ukraine without informing President Trump or senior officials.
- The pause triggered confusion within the administration and led senators from both parties to demand oversight and explanations for the unilateral decision.
- Senators Thom Tillis and Todd Young sharply criticized Hegseth's management, describing the pause as amateurish and calling for hearings and his removal.
- President Trump claimed he was unaware of who ordered the pause, stating, "I don’t know, why don’t you tell me? I think that’s a question for the Pentagon."
- Following backlash, Trump reversed the pause and promised to resume weapon deliveries, highlighting ongoing instability in U.S. Ukraine aid policy.
