Summary
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ordered the sudden cancellation of 11 U.S. weapons flights to Ukraine in February without Trump’s knowledge, blindsiding the White House, Pentagon, and State Department, Reuters reported.
The verbal order, originating from Hegseth’s office, caused confusion in Kyiv and Warsaw.
Internal records suggest Trump never explicitly directed a halt in aid during a Jan. 30 meeting, raising concerns about Hegseth’s interpretation.
The flights resumed days later after National Security Adviser Mike Waltz intervened. TRANSCOM reported the cancellations cost $1.6 million.
I wish I could get drunk on the job and waste millions of dollars of taxpayer money without even so much as a write up :(
You basically have your cover letter to the Trump administration written right there. Pretty sure they’re always hiring!
