Pete Hegseth's mistake cost US up to $2.2 million. It caught Pentagon and White House off guard

The Pentagon under Pete Hegseth stopped arms shipments to Ukraine in February without being ordered to do so by Donald Trump. Pete Hegseth reportedly paused military aid to Ukraine without approval from Donald Trump or the White House. The order led US Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) to ground 11 flights moving weapons and artillery to Ukraine.
