The Pentagon has halted shipments of critical US Patriot air defence systems and other precision weapons to Ukraine after concern that US stockpiles are running too low, prompting alarm in Kyiv.

At the end of last week’s Nato summit, Donald Trump hinted that supplies of Patriot missile interceptors were running down because some had been supplied to Israel, though he suggested he would like to help Kyiv.

After a meeting with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the US president acknowledged that Ukraine did “want to have the anti-missile systems, as they call the Patriots, and we’re going to see if we can make some available”.

But Trump added: “They’re very hard to get. We need them. We were supplying them to Israel,” implying that supporting Israel in its war with Iran – a priority for the Republican administration – had set back its willingness to help Kyiv.

    She didn’t oppose it as a vice president it’s her duty to oppose the president when doing terrible things. The fact that she no longer talk about palestinians at all show her hypocrisy. She should go to public and expose the truth like mathew miller did

        Why are you citing half of my sentence. I didn’t say opposing president, i am saying opposing the president when he want to do bad policies. To be more clear about opposing, what i mean is the advisory role she had

        Aoc waa not a vice president and she show more critisism than harris and even real action like supporting the New York state bill targeting pro-Israel charities funding organizations involved in violations of the Geneva Conventions . She also opposed the bill that conflate anti zionism with anti semitism
