Trump Pauses US Arms Shipments to Ukraine Amid Iran Strikes, Divides GOP

News summary

President Donald Trump has paused key U.S. weapons deliveries to Ukraine, including Patriot missiles and precision-guided artillery, reinforcing his “America First” foreign policy and signaling a retreat from prolonged foreign entanglements. This decision has drawn praise from his staunch MAGA supporters, who had recently questioned his commitment to avoiding foreign conflicts after his military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Far-right influencers like Jack Posobiec welcomed the move as a reaffirmation of Trump’s campaign pledge to prioritize American interests and reduce involvement in costly overseas wars. However, Russian officials have gloated over the pause, casting doubt on the West’s resolve to support Ukraine amid intensified Russian missile attacks, with experts warning the suspension could embolden Putin’s military strategy. U.S. officials defend the pause as necessary to review stockpiles amid high demand for these munitions, but analysts caution that reducing aid will neither force Russia to seek peace nor guarantee Ukraine’s defense. The pause has heightened divisions among Republicans, with some hawks concerned it might weaken Ukraine and encourage further Russian aggression.
