Senators from both parties push Hegseth for action on Ukraine aid
A bipartisan group of senators is pressuring Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to disburse $600 million in security aid to Ukraine and Baltic states that Congress allocated last year. The Pentagon missed a May 15 deadline to provide a spending plan, prompting frustration from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers. The delay reflects broader tensions between Congress and the Trump administration over Ukraine support.
