Trump floats Ukraine Patriot production license ahead of Zelenskyy meeting
U.S. President Donald Trump proposed discussing a license for Ukraine to produce Patriot air defense systems during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the NATO summit in Ankara. Trump suggested the idea as a way to shift production responsibility to Ukraine, though he acknowledged it had not yet been cleared with Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, the companies that manufacture the systems.
