Trump proposes U.S. production license for Patriot interceptors for Ukraine before meeting with Zelenskyy

President Donald Trump announced he is considering a production license for Patriot missile interceptors for Ukraine. The proposal comes as Kyiv seeks additional interceptors to bolster its air defenses. Ukraine has been under intense Russian missile attacks on its cities. The shortage of interceptors has hampered Kyiv's ability to protect civilians. A production license would allow U.S. manufacturers to supply Patriot interceptors to Ukraine. Trump made the remarks ahead of a scheduled meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The move signals a potential shift in U.S. arms policy toward the conflict. Observers will watch the upcoming meeting for any concrete commitments on interceptor deliveries.
