You would think that they are running a Three Ring Circus! Trump signs an agreement with Ukraine and then one Trump's cabinet minsters does this (And notice it is British media and not the USA media)...

- Hegseth's order caused confusion among national security officials
- White House claims Hegseth followed Trump's directive to pause aid
- Internal disputes have sometimes led to haphazard Ukraine policies
In a matter of hours, frantic questions reached Washington from Ukrainians in Kyiv and from officials in Poland, where the shipments were coordinated. Who had ordered the U.S. Transportation Command, known as TRANSCOM, to halt the flights? Was it a permanent pause on all aid? Or just some?Top national security officials — in the White House, the Pentagon and the State Department — couldn’t provide answers. Within one week, flights were back in the air.
The verbal order originated from the office of Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, according to TRANSCOM records reviewed by Reuters.
Not a class act!
The president was unaware of Hegseth’s order, as were other top national security officials in the meeting, according to two sources briefed on the private White House discussions and another with direct knowledge of the matter.
I bet that on Trump's desk there is a sign that says... "The buck stop there, not here!"
There was a reason he hosted a weekend Fox show....he couldn't hack the strain of prime time during the week. The guy is a joke......a bad joke. He is so concerned with DEI and LGBTQ+ he's going to miss a real adversary.
