UKRAINE, JUL 3 – The Pentagon halted shipments of critical US weapons to Ukraine amid a stockpile review, affecting thousands of munitions and air defense systems, without notifying the White House first.
- Last week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unilaterally authorized a pause on U.S. weapons shipments to Ukraine without notifying the White House.
- The pause followed a Pentagon review of U.S. munitions stockpiles initiated after President Trump requested an assessment at last month's NATO summit.
- The suspension affected shipments of Patriot interceptor missiles, artillery ammunition, rockets, and other munitions, many of which were already stockpiled in Poland for rapid transfer to Ukraine.
- President Trump publicly distanced himself from the pause, replying, "I don't know, why don't you tell me?" and reaffirmed support for continued defensive aid to Ukraine.
- The Pentagon announced late Monday night that shipments would resume at the president’s direction, underscoring chaotic policymaking and concerns that delays may aid Russian advances.
