Defense Secretary Austin Hospitalized, Cancels NATO Trip

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin canceled a trip to Brussels for a Ukraine aid meeting due to being hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for an emergent bladder issue related to his prostate cancer. The meeting will now be held virtually. The Pentagon has been unable to send military equipment to Ukraine due to running out of funds, and President Biden's proposal for additional aid has been stalled in Congress. Austin's hospitalization is the third since his cancer diagnosis, and he is expected to make a full recovery.
