Zelensky: Trump Open to Licensing Patriot Missile Production to Ukraine

Ukraine seeks a license to produce Patriot interceptor missiles domestically, and President Zelensky reports that President Trump is positively inclined toward the idea after their meeting. If realized, this would mark a significant shift in US policy, moving from supplying weapons to enabling local production, with implications for Ukraine's long-term air defense independence and US defense industrial policy. The details and timeline remain uncertain, as the discussion is preliminary and no formal agreement has been announced.
