The administration of US President Donald Trump is considering suspending all military aid to Ukraine after the US leader's dispute with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

The Washington Post reports this, citing a senior Trump administration official. 

The official said that in response to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's remarks in the Oval Office and his alleged intransigence in the peace process, the United States may suspend all current military aid to Ukraine.

It is indicated that the decision, if made, will concern radars, vehicles, ammunition, and missiles “worth billions of dollars” that were promised to Ukraine through the presidential drawdown authority and are awaiting shipment. 

An administration official denied that Trump and Vance's confrontation with Zelenskiy was intentional and noted that efforts were made to keep the tone of the meeting positive, as indicated by Trump’s dropping of his accusation that Zelenskyy is a “dictator.”
