Trump considers stopping all US military in an attempt to force President Zelensky to quit

The US President is to turn the thumb screws on President Volodymyr Zelensky to force him to quit as the Ukrainian leader.

The German publication Bild reported citing their own sources on Monday that Donald Trump is considering pausing all military aid to Ukraine until President Zelensky steps down.

Political commentator Thomas Yeager suggested to Bild that President Trump could be “taking revenge on Zelensky for refusing to provide dirt on the son” of the former US President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden in 2020, Interfax Ukraine reported.

He also pointed out that should Ukraine hold elections this year, this would be welcomed by Vladimir Putin.
