Gates slams White House for delayed Ukraine weapons approval.

Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates criticized the Biden administration for being "slow" to approve weapons systems, like tanks, rocket launchers, and fighter jets, to Ukraine, given that it is the "most important" foreign policy issue the U.S. is facing "right now." Gates said the delays in decision-making and approval process have been months-long, and the administration has been dragging its feet in providing weapons systems to Ukraine. President Biden recently approved plans to train Ukrainian pilots on the F-16 fighter jets, which could have been done six months ago, according to Gates.
