U.S. President Donald Trump has paused all military aid to Ukraine following his clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week, a White House official said on Monday.

The fallout from the heated exchange sparked criticism from Ukraine-backing lawmakers as well as praise from Republican supporters of the U.S. president.

Former U.S. ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland and Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., joined 'The Faulkner Focus' to discuss how the minerals deal could impact bilateral relations as the Trump administration works to end the war in Ukraine.
