As HLN relays, which reports the information, Pete Hegseth would have made this decision after a meeting in the oval office of the White House, which was held on January 30, just a few days after the inauguration of Donald Trump. During this meeting, it would have been a question of suspension of help, but Donald Trump had not approved anything. Under the council of Pentagon staff members, the current defense secretary, however, made the decision and ordered the temporary stop of military aid to Ukraine. Concretely, it was eleven planes loaded with grenades and other weapons.
An error that costs $ 2.2 million
The initiative was very badly taken by Ukrainian and Polish officials, who said it in Washington. Finally, after three days of interruption, the aid resumed on February 5, under the leadership of the National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, now dismissed. Reuters reports that these flight cancellations cost $ 2.2 million to the United States Transport Command (USTRANSCOM).

Last week, Donald Trump still defended Pete Hegseth, calling him “talented, intelligent and very educated”. “I think it will be a very good, and I hope an excellent defense secretary,” added the American president. Will the latter still defend it after the revelation of this new scandal? Case to follow.
