Trump grants Ukraine licenses to produce Patriot missiles, Zelensky says

Ukraine's president claims Trump confirmed a final decision to grant licenses for domestic production of Patriot missiles, a significant shift in US policy that could enhance Ukraine's long-term air defense self-sufficiency. The claim is based on Zelensky's statement, not yet independently corroborated. If true, this marks a major step in technology transfer and defense industrial cooperation, potentially altering the balance of air defense capabilities.
