Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth authorized pausing military assistance to Ukraine last week, but did not inform the White House of his crucial decision.
As CNN reports, Hegseth’s rogue move led to chaos in the White House, with the Trump administration frantically trying to figure out why the weapons shipments had been stopped—then having to justify the action to both Congress and the Ukrainian government.
Despite the decision lying directly with Hegseth, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN that the president “has full confidence” in Hegseth’s abilities after his latest mishap.
