EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Former Vice President Mike Pence criticized Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth on CNN over an unauthorized Pentagon pause in weapons shipments to Ukraine.
During an interview on CNN, anchor Kate Bolduan asked Pence about President
Donald Trump’s recent moves with Ukraine and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Pence said he supported Trump’s tougher approach toward Putin, which he ascribed to the GOP’s “isolationists” losing momentum with the president after criticizing Trump’s assault on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
