Trump caught ‘flat footed’ by sudden news of weapons shipment resumption to Ukraine

Washington, July 9 (UNI) US President Donald Trump was reportedly caught "flat footed" by the resumption of American military supplies to Ukraine, stating yesterday that he has no idea who authorised the said shipment, amid Washington’s temporary pause in specific weapons systems to Kyiv, reports The Guardian.

Last week, the Pentagon announced it would temporarily withhold shipments of the MIM-104 Patriot interceptor missiles, precision-guided GMLRS rockets, Hellfire missiles, Howitzer rounds, and other defensive weapons amid Pentagon’s "strategic reassessment" of its munitions supplies which are running low, as well as its growing focus on West Asia.
