Sec of #Defense #PeteHegseth did not inform the #WhiteHouse before authorizing a pause on weapons shipments to #Ukraine last week, setting off a scramble inside the admin to understand the halt & explain it to #Congress & Ukraine.

Asked during a Cabinet meeting whether he approved of the pause, #Trump said that the #US would continue to send defensive weapons to Ukraine. Pressed on who authorized the pause, Trump replied, “I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?”
