The White House confirmed that President Donald Trump`s administration froze the shipment of some air defense and precision guided weapons that were on track to be sent to Ukraine, writes ABC NEWS.

Officials said the decision followed an assessment of U.S. stockpiles.

"This decision was made to put America`s interests first following a DOD review of our nation`s military support and assistance to other countries across the globe", - said White House spokesperson Anna Kelly. "The strength of the United States Armed Forces remains unquestioned - just ask Iran".

Politico first reported the decision. It was not immediately clear whether other shipments of weapons would be released or how much was paused.

The Pentagon declined to provide additional details about the decision. "America`s military has never been more ready and more capable thanks to President Trump and Secretary Hegseth’s leadership", Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement. "Our service members are fully equipped to deter against any threat and the Senate`s recent passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill ensures that our weapons and defense systems are modernized to protect against 21st century threats for generations to come".
