Trump may lift hold on Ukraine aid pending confidence-building measures, White House says

White House national security adviser Mike Waltz said 'the president will take a hard look at lifting this pause' if peace talks are arranged and confidence-building measures are taken.

Washington: President Donald Trump will consider restoring aid to Ukraine if peace talks are arranged and confidence-building measures are taken, White House national security adviser Mike Waltz said on Wednesday.

"I think if we can nail down these negotiations and move towards these negotiations, and in fact, put some confidence-building measures on the table, then the president will take a hard look at lifting this pause," Waltz said in an interview with Fox News.
