Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly caused panic within the Trump administration earlier this year after he halted multiple freight airlines transporting aid and weaponry to Ukraine, failing to inform the White House of this decision.
Hegseth's office ordered the airlines, which had been operating from the Dover Air Force Base in Delaware and a U.S. base in Qatar, to stop 11 flights carrying military aid destined for Ukraine, including artillery shells and other weaponry, Reuters reported.
