President Donald Trump has ordered the resumption of U.S. weapons shipments to Ukraine after being caught "flat-footed" by a Pentagon decision to pause deliveries of key munitions, three people familiar with the internal discussions told the Associated Press.

Donald Trump has said the US will send more weapons to Ukraine, less than a week after Washington abruptly halted deliveries of some critical weaponry for Kyiv. The president’s comments signalled a departure from the Pentagon’s stance that the US stockpile of certain weapons might have diminished too much to sustain the flow to Ukraine.

Iranian cleric Ahmad Khatami called for the execution of President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu under Sharia law.
