President Donald Trump said he’d ship more weapons to Ukraine, marking an apparent reversal after the Pentagon halted flows of some air-defense missiles and artillery shells to the country.

“We’re going to send some more weapons,” Trump told reporters at the start of a dinner with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday evening. “We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. They’re getting hit very hard now.”
