Trump Military Aid Pause Looks Like Attempt to Push Kyiv Towards Capitulation.
U.S. President Donald Trump's pause of all military aid to Ukraine has been described as a psychological blow and political blow upon the country, undermining its spirit in the face of ongoing conflict with Russia. The move comes after Trump adopted a more conciliatory stance towards Moscow, upending U.S. policy on Ukraine. The aid pause raises concerns about the authority of Trump's actions within government agencies under the U.S. Constitution.
