Trump Administration Halts Some Arms Supplies to Ukraine, Prompting Questions from Congress and Allies
According to a report by Jinse Finance, U.S. lawmakers and experts have questioned the Trump administration's decision to suspend the delivery of certain air defense weapons to Ukraine, arguing that this move could delay the resolution of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. They refuted the White House's claim that "U.S. weapons stockpiles are running low." Several individuals pointed out that the weapons urgently needed by Ukraine are not in immediate demand elsewhere, so there is no necessity to halt their delivery right away. Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat from Connecticut, stated, "We do need to replenish our stockpiles, but the solution should be to accelerate production, not to cut off supplies to Ukraine." A European official revealed that a NATO ally has urged the U.S. Department of Defense to reconsider the decision. John Herbst, Director of the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center, commented that this move by the U.S. contradicts a series of tough actions taken by Trump and his team last week. He was referring to the consensus reached at the NATO summit, where member states agreed to raise defense-related spending to 5% of GDP.
