US will 'have to' send weapons to Ukraine, Trump says days after Pentagon pause

President Donald Trump says the U.S. will have to send more weapons to Ukraine, just days after Pentagon paused critical weapons deliveries to Kyiv. President Donald Trump on Monday said that his administration would be sending defensive weapons to Ukraine so the war-torn country could defend itself from Russia's ongoing invasion, an apparent turnaround after the Pentagon said last week it was pausing such deliveries. His comments came as Russian attacks on Ukraine killed at least 11 civilians and injured more than 80 others, including seven children, officials said Monday. "We have to," Trump said when questioned at the start of a dinner he was hosting at the White House for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "They have to be able to defend themselves. They're getting hit very hard now. We're going to send some more weapons -- defensive weapons primarily."
