In February, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth canceled U.S. weapons flights to Ukraine without informing President Trump, leading to confusion among top officials in various departments. The cancellation of 11 military cargo flights, supported by internal records from U.S. Transportation Command, was unexpected for the White House and allies. This decision followed a meeting discussing Ukraine policy, and while aid was addressed, Trump did not explicitly order a halt. The flights resumed shortly after intervention from National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, with the cancellation costing $1.6 million.
The sudden cancellation of 11 military cargo flights... reportedly caught the White House, Pentagon, and State Department completely off guard.
Hegseth's decision reportedly came on the heels of a Jan. 30 Oval Office meeting on Ukraine policy, raising serious questions about his interpretation.
The bottom line is the war is much closer to an end today than it was when President Trump took office.
TRANSCOM said the cancellations cost $1.6 million, highlighting the significant financial implications of the abrupt halt.
