President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he hasn’t stopped to consider who ordered a recent pause on weapon shipments to Ukraine.

“I haven’t thought about it because we’re looking at Ukraine and munitions right now,” Trump said in response to a reporter’s questions during a White House meeting with West African leaders. “So no, I have not gotten into it.”

Trump went on to contradict himself and insist an order would not have been made without his approval.
