Ukraine aid blocked soon after Trump’s phone call with Zelenskiy, emails show
Trump acted around 90 minutes after the ‘do us a favor’ phone call behind the scenes to block aid from the Pentagon
It took only around 90 minutes after Donald Trump’s infamous July telephone call to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy for White House officials to order the Pentagon to freeze military funding for Ukraine, according to newly-released government emails.
The correspondence, published by the Center for Public Integrity, appears to show that Trump appointees acted quickly after the call, behind the scenes, to block Ukrainian aid from the Pentagon.
