| 0:00.0 | Today is Tuesday, March 4th. We're talking about President Trump pulling the plug on military aid for Ukraine and adding new tariffs against America's largest trading partners, how Americans are expected to be impacted. Also, a major storm system could bring severe weather to the South as partiers celebrate Mardi Gras today. Plus, RFK.'s response to a growing measles outbreak, the newest cabinet |
| 0:22.0 | member with an unusual job ahead of her, and what's next for Serena Williams in the world of |
| 0:26.5 | women's sports? Those stories and even more news coming up. Welcome, welcome to The Newsworthy, |
| 0:34.1 | all the day's news in around 10 minutes. Fast, fair, fun, and on the go. I'm Erica |
| 0:39.4 | Mandy. Thanks so much for being here. You ready? Let's do this. It seems last week's tense |
| 0:48.2 | White House meeting was just the start of President Trump upending America's stance toward Ukraine. |
| 0:54.0 | The U.S. is now pausing all military |
| 0:56.1 | aid to the war-torn country. For now, the White House says it's just on hold while the U.S. |

| 1:16.4 | criticized Zelensky, saying he hasn't been grateful enough for America's help and should be more |
| 1:21.2 | open to a diplomatic compromise with Russia. But Zelensky says Russia has proven it cannot be trusted, |
| 1:27.2 | so he's pushed for security guarantees. |
| 1:29.6 | As of early this morning, no comment from the Ukrainian government about this pause in aid from the U.S. |
| 1:34.5 | But it's a huge shift that could make a big difference in Ukraine's defenses, |
| 1:38.6 | considering the U.S. has been the country's biggest source of military aid since Russia invaded three years ago. |
| 1:43.7 | To be clear, |
| 1:44.4 | President Trump has not authorized any new assistance for Ukraine since taking office. President |
| 1:49.1 | Biden was the one who committed billions of dollars worth of equipment when he was still in office |
| 1:53.3 | with lawmakers' support from both sides of the aisle. The thing is, a lot of it has not been delivered |
