Trump says US will give Patriot missile license to Ukraine
Trump said the move could help Ukraine produce Patriots quickly as Russian missile strikes exhaust its interceptor stockpiles.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced the United States will license Ukraine to produce US-made Patriot interceptors, aiming to bolster Kyiv's ability to protect its cities and energy grid from Russian strikes.
- Kyiv has faced critical shortages of the US-made Patriot system, which remains Ukraine's only effective defense against ballistic projectiles, having requested licensing for over half a year.
- Trump claimed US industry is constructing four plants to enable local production within two to three months, asserting the government holds enough power over manufacturers like Lockheed Martin to ensure compliance.
- At the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that securing additional missiles was his highest priority, expressing confidence that Trump would take action to stop the war.
- Russia has recently escalated its air war, launching around 30 ballistic missiles in a single night, while Trump described both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zelenskyy as "difficult" characters.
