DONALD Trump will consider lifting the pause on US military aid to Ukraine, if peace talks progress, says his National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.

 "I think if we can nail down these negotiations and move towards these negotiations, and... put some confidence-building measures on the table, then the president will take a hard look at lifting this pause," he states

 Trump ordered the pause yesterday following a fiery meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky at the Oval Office last week Last night, during an address to Congress, the US president said Ukraine was ready to begin peace talks - and read aloud a letter he'd received from his Ukrainian counterpart.

Meanwhile, CIA Director John Ratcliffe has appeared to confirm the US has paused intelligence sharing with Kyiv.
