The administration of US President Donald Trump has decided to redirect fuses for air defense missile systems originally intended for Ukraine to the Middle East, The Wall Street Journal newspaper reported. In a previously unpublished statement, the Pentagon informed the US Senate Committee on Armed Services that the need for the fuses had been identified as an urgent matter by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the report added. Proponents of the decision reportedly argue that the Pentagon has the flexibility to take such measures under the emergency defense spending bill passed last year.
