Trump’s OWN Cabinet IGNORES Him: Defense Sec. Hegseth FREEZES Ukraine Weapons Without Telling Trump [Video]

Trump’s OWN Cabinet IGNORES Him: Defense Sec. Hegseth FREEZES Ukraine Weapons Without Telling Trump

A shocking new report by CNN claims that US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a pause on crucial weapons shipments to Ukraine without informing the White House. When questioned about the decision, President Donald Trump appeared to be unaware, denying responsibility by stating, “I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?” This unilateral action by the Pentagon chief has reportedly set off a major scramble within the administration, highlighting a severe breakdown in communication. The pause comes at a perilous moment for Kyiv, as Russia has intensified its missile attacks across Ukraine. Such a disruption in the supply of munitions could have devastating consequences on the battlefield. The lack of coordination was so profound that key figures like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Keith Kellogg allegedly learned of the aid suspension from press reports, not from the Pentagon or Hegseth himself. Sources cited by CNN suggest that Hegseth's lack of a chief of staff or senior advisers has led to this poor interagency coordination. In an attempt to control the narrative, the Pentagon stated the pause was for an assessment of US stockpiles, while the White House clarified that this review was never intended to halt the flow of aid. Following the backlash, President Trump reportedly ordered the resumption of some arms shipments, including Patriot missiles stationed in Poland. This entire incident raises serious questions about the chain of command, policy clarity, and the stability of US support for Ukraine. #Trump #Ukraine #Hegseth #WhiteHouse #Pentagon #BreakingNews #WorldNews #UkraineWar #OneindiaNews #USAid #USWeapons #Zelensky #UkraineWar #UkraineAid Also Read US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc

Rubio’s Funny Banter About Jaishankar at QUAD Meet Goes Viral | Jaishankar Scolds US Over Terrorism At the QUAD Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Washington D.C., U.S. Secretary Marco Rubio jokingly called Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar a “very busy guy,” noting his constant travel. Jaishankar, alongside diplomats from Japan, Australia, and the U.S., took a firm stance on global terrorism—referencing the recent Pahalgam attack. He warned against equating victims and perpetrators, subtly addressing U.S. policy on Pakistan. The QUAD emphasized Indo-Pacific security, while Jaishankar also met with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to deepen bilateral defense ties, calling the partnership one of the “most consequential” today. #Jaishankar #MarcoRubio #QUAD #IndiaUSRelations #IndoPacific #ForeignPolicy #PahalgamAttack #GlobalTerrorism #SJaishankar #PeteHegseth #USIndiaDefense #Diplomacy #Geopolitics #QUADSummit #Australia #Japan #India #UnitedStates #InternationalRelations #StrategicPartnership #DefenseTies #SouthAsiaSecurity #RubioJokes #BusyDiplomat Also Read US Secretary Of State Marco Rubio Speaks To S Jaishankar, Pak PM To De-Escalate Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-secretary-of-state-marco-rubio-speaks-to-s-jaishankar-pak-pm-to-de-escalate-tensions-4140111.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Drop Ukraine-Russia Peace Efforts If No Progress Within Days: Marco Rubio :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-drop-ukraine-russia-peace-efforts-if-no-progress-within-days-marco-rubio-4127371.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk-Marco Rubio Clash Over Staff Cuts In Explosive Meeting In Trump's Presence; US Prez Denies Blow Up :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-marco-rubio-clash-over-staff-cuts-in-explosive-meeting-in-trumps-presence-us-prez-denies-4089603.html?ref=DMDesc

DRAMATIC FOOTAGE: Israeli Soldier KILLED In Gaza Tunnel Ambush | Truce & Ceasefire Hopes SHATTER?

A harrowing attack in southern Gaza claimed the life of Master Sgt. Abraham Azulay, 25, an Israeli combat-engineering reservist, as Hamas gunmen attempted to abduct him during a tunnel ambush. Azulay was killed in the struggle, and militants tried to drag his body away before IDF forces intervened. In a related move, Israel's military has intensified its ground offensive in northern Gaza, deploying the Givati Brigade and 99th Division near Beit Hanoun, aiming to dismantle Hamas tunnels. IDF Chief Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said the operation—dubbed "Operation Gideon’s Chariots"—aims to set conditions favorable for a hostage swap. The violence has slowed ceasefire progress, even as Israeli PM Netanyahu left Washington without a breakthrough. Gaza's civil defense reports at least 22 more civilian deaths from Israeli strikes, worsening fuel shortages at Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital. As both sides hold firm, international pressure for a truce grows louder. #AbrahamAzulay #TunnelAmbush #IDF #Hamas #GazaWar #BeitHanoun #GivatiBrigade #99thDivision #OperationGideonsChariots #HostageDeal #Netanyahu #Zamir #AlShifa #GazaCrisis #GroundOffensive #IsraelDefense #WarAndPeace #MiddleEast #TruceTalks #CivilianCasualties ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~

‘This Is An Attack On Justice…’ UN BLASTS US Sanctions On ICC Judges Amid Netanyahu’s Probe

The UN’s top human rights official, Volker Türk, has strongly condemned U.S. sanctions on four ICC judges as “deeply corrosive” to international justice. These judges, who ruled on cases involving alleged war crimes by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, now face sanctions from the Biden administration. Türk warned that targeting international judges for executing their duties endangers the rule of law. The EU has backed the ICC, vowing to counter these sanctions and defend the court’s independence from political pressure. #ICC #USSanctions #UN #VolkerTürk #InternationalJustice #Netanyahu #AfghanistanWarCrimes #RuleOfLaw #HumanRights #EU #GlobalJustice #ICCJUDGES #GazaInvestigation #SanctionsBacklash #TrumpSanctions #USvsICC #InternationalLaw #WarCrimesAccountability #JusticeSystem #LegalIndependence Also Read Women's Cricket World Cup Schedule: ICC Announces Match Dates, Venues; Pakistan Matches In Colombo :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/womens-cricket-world-cup-schedule-icc-announces-match-dates-venues-pakistan-matches-in-colombo-4170415.html?ref=DMDesc Shreyas Iyer Wins ICC Award For His Valuable Contribution In Champions Trophy 2025 :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/shreyas-iyer-wins-icc-award-for-his-valuable-contribution-in-champions-trophy-2025-4124361.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Cricketers Face Another Setback as All Fifty Players Go Unsold in the Hundred Draft :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/pakistan-cricketers-face-another-setback-as-all-fifty-players-go-unsold-in-the-hundred-draft-4094855.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~

U.S. President Donald Trump has sanctioned four International Criminal Court (ICC) judges for pursuing war crimes investigations against American and Israeli troops over actions in Gaza and Afghanistan. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the ICC’s actions as illegitimate and a threat to U.S. sovereignty. Netanyahu praised the move, calling the ICC charges political.
