U.S’ Flip-Flop Game: U.S Military Aid To Ukraine Under Review As Pentagon Halts Key Shipments

The Pentagon has confirmed it is conducting a ā€œcapability reviewā€ to reassess whether military aid to Ukraine aligns with America’s shifting defense priorities. Chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said the U.S. is taking a hard look at promised weapons deliveries — some of which are now halted — to ensure national interests come first. The move follows the White House’s decision to stop key shipments of air defense ammunition, artillery shells, and missiles previously pledged under the Biden administration. With President Trump’s ā€œAmerica Firstā€ policy reshaping foreign aid strategy, the Pentagon appears to be pivoting away from prolonged foreign entanglements. Ukrainian officials have slammed the halt as betrayal, warning it weakens their resistance against Russia’s advances. Meanwhile, analysts say this could signal a major realignment in U.S. global commitments — and a boost for Russian military strategy.

U.S Breaking: TRUMP Humiliated By NY Court Slaps Trump's Plan to Deport 500,000+ Haitians

A federal court has struck down Donald Trump’s attempt to prematurely end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 500,000 Haitian immigrants. The judge ruled the move unlawful, citing procedural violations and the devastating impact on lives built under TPS. The Biden administration had extended protections until 2026 due to Haiti’s ongoing crisis, including gang violence and displacement. The ruling is a major setback for Trump’s deportation agenda and underscores judicial resistance to rolling back immigration relief programs. #Trump #ImmigrationRuling #HaitiTPS #TPSProtection #FederalCourt #DeportationBlocked #HaitianImmigrants #ImmigrationNews #TrumpHumiliated #USImmigration #TPS2026 #BidenImmigration #LegalStatus #MigrantRights #CourtRuling #StopDeportations #TrumpVsImmigrants #ImmigrationPolicy #HumanRights #BreakingNews #USPolitics #JudicialRebuke #GangViolenceHaiti #IOMReport #TemporaryProtectedStatus #HaitiansInUSA #MigrationJustice Also Read Deal With India With Less Tariffs Soon: US Prez Donald Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/deal-with-india-with-less-tariffs-soon-us-president-donald-trump-7788921.html?ref=DMDesc 'Close Up Shop And Move Back To South Africa': US President Donald Trump's Deportation Warning To Elon Musk :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/close-up-shop-and-move-back-to-south-africa-us-president-donald-trumps-deportation-warning-to-el-7788061.html?ref=DMDesc Top Iranian Cleric Declares Fatwa Against Donald Trump, Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/top-iranian-cleric-declares-fatwa-against-donald-trump-netanyahu-7786905.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.125~
