President Donald Trump is pausing military aid to Ukraine after last week's confrontation between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, two White House officials confirmed to USA TODAY.
The Trump administration wants to ensure military aid is contributing to resolving the conflict, and it will be reviewed with that goal in mind, an official said.
Withholding aid is the latest sign that the relationship between the Trump administration and Ukrainian leadership has deteriorated. Trump has called for a ceasefire and pushed Zelenskyy to make a deal three years after Russia invaded the country.
Trump and Vice President JD Vance clashed dramatically with the Ukrainian leader in the Oval Office Friday after Zelenskyy complained about the behavior of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Zelenskyy was asked to leave the White House and a planned news conference was canceled. The shocking public confrontation roiled global politics, with European leaders rallying around Ukraine.
