The New York Times, citing an anonymous administration official, has reported that US President Donald Trump will discuss the possible suspension or complete cancellation of military aid to Ukraine, including weapons funded by Joe Biden’s administration, on Monday, 3 March.
U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet on March 3 to discuss the possible suspension or complete cancellation of military aid to Ukraine, including weapons pledged by the Biden administration, The New York Times (NYT) reported, citing an unnamed source.
The discussion follows a heated exchange between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Feb. 28, which derailed plans for a natural resources treaty between the two nations.
According to an unnamed administration official, Trump will convene with top national security aides, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, to review policy options regarding Ukraine.
The agenda reportedly includes the potential suspension or cancellation of U.S. military aid, including recent ammunition and equipment shipments approved during the Biden administration.
Zelensky has repeatedly urged the U.S. to maintain military support, arguing that continued arms shipments are critical to strengthening Ukraine’s position in future negotiations with Russia.
While the Trump administration has not authorized new military aid to Ukraine, it has allowed previously approved shipments to continue.
Reuters previously reported internal debates within the administration over whether the U.S. should continue supplying weapons.
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, the U.S. has provided Ukraine with $65.9 billion in military aid.
Trump had already taken steps to reassess foreign aid, signing an executive order on his first day in office that froze funding for 90 days.
