US to Grant Ukraine License for Patriot Missile Production to Counter Russia

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the US will give Ukraine a license to make Patriot missiles to counter Russia. According to Associated Press, Trump made the comments during a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Wimir Zalinski on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Turkey. Mr. President, will you allow Europe to make Patriot interceptors in Europe? Are you comfortable with licensing that technology? What? Patriot interceptors to be made in Europe. And you're talking with respect to Ukraine. Well, we're going to talk about that. You know, look, it's a defensive weapon, which I like better than an offensive weapon. It's the best.

But one of the things I think we're going to be talking about today, I just a little birdie told me this uh about the fact that we'll give them the right to make patriots. We'll show them how to do it. It's very complex actually, but it's uh you'll figure out the complexity quickly. And we're talking about that and we'll the company that makes them which is building now four plants. You know, all of our companies will be able to do this in two to three months if you order a Patriot. Now, you have to wait a long time for them. Same thing with tomahawks. We have a lot of certain equipment, but with they call it the elite equipment, and you don't need elite equipment necessarily for a war,

but so one of the things we're going to be talking about is you'll uh we're going to give a license to you to make patriots. That's pretty cool, right? This way you can't complain that we're not giving them enough. I say make them yourself. Uh we haven't informed the company of that yet, but that'll that'll work out all right. You know, I'm sure they'll be thrilled, but you know, they'll be able to do it. You'll be able to figure that out. Most countries couldn't do that. If I said that to most countries, they would know what I'm talking about. But this is a very ingenious group. And what I like about that, it's a defensive it's

a defensive situation as opposed to an offensive. But I think one of the things you might want to be talking about is that's what I heard. Little birdie told me that. President on Iran, can you clarify does
