WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. is halting some shipments of weapons to Ukraine amid concerns that its own stockpiles have declined too much. The munitions were previously promised to Ukraine under the Biden administration to aid its defenses during the more than three-year-old war. The pause reflects a new set of priorities under President Donald Trump. A U.S. official says a Pentagon review determined that stocks were too low on some weapons previously pledged, so pending shipments of some items won’t be sent. A White House spokesperson said the decision was made “following a review of our nation’s military support and assistance to other countries across the globe.” The Pentagon’s top policy adviser stressed the need to keep “preserving U.S. forces’ readiness.”
