US EditionTrump: Putin May Be Helping Iran ‘a Little Bit’
Trump says Putin may provide Iran with targeting data and drone tactics used against U.S. and allies, benefiting from $7 billion in oil revenues amid Middle East conflict.

- Reliance on multimillion-dollar Patriot interceptors could have been mitigated had Trump accepted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's standing offer to share advanced counter-drone technology and interceptor expertise.
