If the decision to halt aid is made, it would affect radars worth billions of dollars, vehicles, ammunition, and missiles awaiting shipment to Ukraine.

Unofficially: Trump is considering stopping arms shipments to Ukraine

"The consideration of withholding arms for Ukraine as it fends off a full-scale invasion from Russia underscores the dramatic plunge in relations between the erstwhile allies after the contentious Oval Office exchange between Zelensky, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance," writes "The Washington Post."

The official cited by the newspaper rejected the view that the confrontation between Trump and Vance with Zelensky was premeditated. He also stated that efforts were made to set a more positive tone in planning before the meeting, as indicated by Trump's abandonment of the accusation that Zelensky is a "dictator."
