Trump Tells Zelensky Ukraine Will Be Allowed to Manufacture Patriot Missile Interceptors

Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

President Donald Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the NATO summit in Ankara that the U.S. will grant Ukraine a license to manufacture Patriot missile interceptors. The move would let Kyiv produce a key component of the U.S.-made air defense system used to counter Russian ballistic missile attacks. Trump said the U.S. would “show” Ukraine how to make the missiles, but he did not announce an immediate transfer of additional Patriot systems or interceptors. Zelenskyy has pressed for more Patriots as Ukraine faces an ammunition shortfall and intensified Russian missile strikes.
