Trump’s OWN Cabinet IGNORES Him: Defense Sec. Hegseth FREEZES Ukraine Weapons Without Telling Trump
A shocking new report by CNN claims that US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a pause on crucial weapons shipments to Ukraine without informing the White House.
When questioned about the decision, President Donald Trump appeared to be unaware, denying responsibility by stating, “I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?” This unilateral action by the Pentagon chief has reportedly set off a major scramble within the administration, highlighting a severe breakdown in communication.
The pause comes at a perilous moment for Kyiv, as Russia has intensified its missile attacks across Ukraine.
Such a disruption in the supply of munitions could have devastating consequences on the battlefield.
The lack of coordination was so profound that key figures like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Keith Kellogg allegedly learned of the aid suspension from press reports, not from the Pentagon or Hegseth himself.
Sources cited by CNN suggest that Hegseth's lack of a chief of staff or senior advisers has led to this poor interagency coordination.
In an attempt to control the narrative, the Pentagon stated the pause was for an assessment of US stockpiles, while the White House clarified that this review was never intended to halt the flow of aid.
Following the backlash, President Trump reportedly ordered the resumption of some arms shipments, including Patriot missiles stationed in Poland.
This entire incident raises serious questions about the chain of command, policy clarity, and the stability of US support for Ukraine.

Despite relentless Israeli strikes, Hamas claims it remains undefeated, with 20,000 fighters still ready to battle. Recent ambushes by Al-Qassam and Al-Quds Brigades have killed multiple Israeli soldiers, including five in a Beit Hanoun IED blast. Abu Obeida warns Israel of further losses in a war of attrition. As ceasefire talks begin in Doha, both sides escalate operations. Israel demands Hamas disarm, while Trump urges Hamas to accept peace or face dire consequences amid growing regional instability.

In a major international development, former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping 30% tariff on all goods imported from South Africa, set to begin on August 1. In a letter, Trump claimed South Africa's trade policies are "far from reciprocal," prompting this drastic measure. The White House has indicated that these tariffs could be adjusted based on the future of US-Pretoria relations.
Responding swiftly, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has sharply pushed back, labelling the tariff a "contested interpretation" of the current trade reality. In a statement from his office, Ramaphosa highlighted that South Africa's average tariff on imports is a modest 7.6%, and a staggering 77% of all U.S. goods enter the country completely duty-free. He has tasked a special team to urgently engage with U.S. officials on the matter.
High-stakes negotiations are already underway. U.S. and South African officials have met in Angola to discuss tariff relief and market access. South Africa's trade ministry is pushing to delay the deadline and negotiate a new framework, with sources indicating they are seeking to cap the duty rate at 10% as a potential compromise. The international community is watching closely as a Press Secretary Leavitt has hinted at a possible delay, leaving the future of US-South Africa trade hanging in the balance.

Rubio’s Funny Banter About Jaishankar at QUAD Meet Goes Viral | Jaishankar Scolds US Over Terrorism
At the QUAD Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Washington D.C., U.S. Secretary Marco Rubio jokingly called Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar a “very busy guy,” noting his constant travel. Jaishankar, alongside diplomats from Japan, Australia, and the U.S., took a firm stance on global terrorism—referencing the recent Pahalgam attack. He warned against equating victims and perpetrators, subtly addressing U.S. policy on Pakistan. The QUAD emphasized Indo-Pacific security, while Jaishankar also met with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to deepen bilateral defense ties, calling the partnership one of the “most consequential” today.

The Pentagon has confirmed it is conducting a “capability review” to reassess whether military aid to Ukraine aligns with America’s shifting defense priorities. Chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said the U.S. is taking a hard look at promised weapons deliveries — some of which are now halted — to ensure national interests come first. The move follows the White House’s decision to stop key shipments of air defense ammunition, artillery shells, and missiles previously pledged under the Biden administration.
With President Trump’s “America First” policy reshaping foreign aid strategy, the Pentagon appears to be pivoting away from prolonged foreign entanglements. Ukrainian officials have slammed the halt as betrayal, warning it weakens their resistance against Russia’s advances. Meanwhile, analysts say this could signal a major realignment in U.S. global commitments — and a boost for Russian military strategy. Is Washington walking away from Kyiv?

In a fiery Pentagon briefing, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lashed out at the media, accusing them of "cheering against Trump" and downplaying the success of Operation Midnight Hammer — a bold series of U.S. airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear sites. Hegseth defended the mission’s results, slammed leaks of low-confidence intelligence reports, and praised the courage of American pilots and defense crews. With tensions high and politics in play, the Secretary warned that biased reporting could overshadow what he called a “historic” blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

The Pentagon revealed that every weapon deployed in the recent U.S. strike on Iran had a pre-assigned target — and none missed. Officials emphasized the unprecedented precision of the operation, which focused on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and command hubs. The statement underscores the effectiveness of American airpower, particularly the deployment of GBU-57 bunker busters, and suggests a major degradation of Iran’s strategic capabilities.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is facing intense criticism after calling the deadly Texas floods—claiming over 100 lives—an “act of God.” The comment came as search and rescue efforts continued in Kerr County, where floodwaters swept through homes and Camp Mystic. Critics argue the Trump administration’s underfunding of FEMA and the National Weather Service worsened the crisis. During a press conference, reporters challenged Leavitt over delayed alerts and lack of preparedness. The backlash grows as families demand accountability for a preventable disaster.

President Donald Trump lashed out at reporters during a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, dismissing questions about the controversial Jeffrey Epstein case as a "desecration." This explosive reaction came just one day after the Justice Department, led by Trump's own Attorney General Pam Bondi, released a memo stating there was no evidence of an Epstein "client list" or that the disgraced financier was Murdered. Trump attempted to pivot the conversation to the tragic flooding in Texas, questioning why the media was still focused on "this creep" Epstein during a time of national crisis.
The situation has ignited a fierce backlash within the MAGA movement. For years, Trump's most fervent supporters and allies have propagated theories about a secret "client list" that could incriminate powerful figures. Attorney General Pam Bondi, once a champion of these theories who claimed in a February Fox News interview that the list was "on my desk to review," is now facing intense criticism. Her department's memo directly contradicts the narrative she previously appeared to support.

In a sharp shift, Trump confirmed he supports sending defensive weapons to Ukraine, criticizing Biden for over-equipping Kyiv but acknowledging Ukrainian bravery. “We gave them far more than Europe. Should’ve been less,” Trump said. Calling Putin “nice but meaningless,” Trump admitted, “We get a lot of bullsh*t thrown at us.” His remarks mark a dramatic tone against the Russian leader ahead of the 2024 race.

President Donald Trump lashed out at Democrats for unanimously opposing his proposed "Big Beautiful Bill," which includes major tax cuts—no tax on tips, Social Security, or overtime. At a fiery rally, Trump praised Republicans for supporting the measure and called out Democrats for offering "not one positive vote." Branding it the “best tax reform in American history,” Trump declared, “Every Democrat should lose their election!” The sharp rebuke sets the tone for a heated election cycle showdown.
