Trump Says US Has Not Decided on Ukraine's Patriot Missile Production LicensePreviousNext

Following a recent meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, US President Donald Trump stated that the US has not yet decided whether to grant Ukraine a licence to manufacture Patriot interceptor missiles. While Zelensky expressed optimism about co-production, Trump emphasized caution due to the advanced nature of the technology and the risks involved. He reiterated that the primary goal remains ending the war in Ukraine, and no final decision on missile production has been made, with discussions ongoing.
