Trump Grants Ukraine Licenses to Produce Patriot Missiles, Backs 300-Interceptor Winter Request
President Volodymyr Zelensky said President Donald Trump agreed to grant Ukraine licenses to locally co-produce Patriot missile interceptors following a closed-door meeting at the White House on Tuesday. Zelensky disclosed in interviews that he also requested an emergency package of 300 Patriot missiles to replenish depleted stockpiles, warning that Russian forces could otherwise devastate Ukraine's energy grid in the coming months.
Trump told Zelensky he would work to secure the additional interceptors but noted existing supply constraints driven by American military requirements in the conflict with Iran. As a separate outcome of the talks, Zelensky confirmed that U.S. presidential envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are likely to make their first trip to Kyiv within the next two weeks.
