Trump’s OWN Cabinet IGNORES Him: Defense Sec. Hegseth FREEZES Ukraine Weapons Without Telling Trump

A shocking new report by CNN claims that US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a pause on crucial weapons shipments to Ukraine without informing the White House.

When questioned about the decision, President Donald Trump appeared to be unaware, denying responsibility by stating, “I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?” This unilateral action by the Pentagon chief has reportedly set off a major scramble within the administration, highlighting a severe breakdown in communication.

The pause comes at a perilous moment for Kyiv, as Russia has intensified its missile attacks across Ukraine.

Such a disruption in the supply of munitions could have devastating consequences on the battlefield.

The lack of coordination was so profound that key figures like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Keith Kellogg allegedly learned of the aid suspension from press reports, not from the Pentagon or Hegseth himself.

Sources cited by CNN suggest that Hegseth's lack of a chief of staff or senior advisers has led to this poor interagency coordination.

In an attempt to control the narrative, the Pentagon stated the pause was for an assessment of US stockpiles, while the White House clarified that this review was never intended to halt the flow of aid.

Following the backlash, President Trump reportedly ordered the resumption of some arms shipments, including Patriot missiles stationed in Poland.

This entire incident raises serious questions about the chain of command, policy clarity, and the stability of US support for Ukraine.
