President Donald Trump says the United States will provide Ukraine a license to manufacture Patriot air-defense missiles. Trump makes the remarks at the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey, during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. According to multiple outlets, Trump frames the step as a way to address Ukraine’s needs and comments that the process is “very complex,” adding that the U.S. would “show them how to do it.” He also characterizes Patriot missiles as a defensive capability, contrasting it with offensive weapons. Reuters-reported accounts cite Trump saying that both Russia and Ukraine want the war to be settled, using that point as context for the discussion. Other coverage repeats the same core elements: Trump’s statement about issuing a license, his emphasis on technical complexity and guidance, and his characterization of the weapons as defensive. The reports do not provide additional details on timing, scope, or terms of the licensing arrangement.
