A testy exchange between a senator who strongly supports Ukraine aid and the defense secretary revealed a deepening split among G.O.P. officials on the war.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said the “president is committed to” securing a diplomatic end to the Russia-Ukraine war in response to a question about which side the Trump administration wants to see “win” the conflict.
