Trump “not sure” about Ukrainian Patriot
License manufacturing of the American Patriot air defense system is high on Ukraine’s wish list.
But from the American side, hesitation is expressed – Donald Trump says he is “not sure”.
The need for air defense – especially Patriot missiles – is great in Ukraine, according to the country’s government. Among other things, the weapons are needed to protect against Russian attacks on cities and civilians.
This week, a meeting was held between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj and his US counterpart Donald Trump, where the weapons system was reportedly discussed.
Despite the meeting, Donald Trump says he has not decided whether any Ukrainian license manufacturing of Patriot should be allowed.
“It's a very special weapon, and we have to be a little careful about who we grant permission to,” Trump told the Financial Times.
