Trump delays Patriot license over peace goals

U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated that he has not yet decided whether he will approve Ukraine’s request for a license to produce Patriot surface-to-air missile systems. He indicated that "we are looking into it" and that his focus remains on ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He also stated that licenses granted for such weapons must be carefully considered due to their exceptional nature, raising doubts about the likelihood of approval for Kyiv’s request. This came after his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which they discussed licenses for the production of Patriot systems. Zelensky reaffirmed that American support continues and expressed hope for reactivating the diplomatic process with Russia to find a solution to the crisis. Trump emphasized the importance of prioritizing peace over military development, underscoring earlier American criticisms that led to a halt in direct arms shipments to Kyiv, although the United States still provides valuable intelligence and other essential services to Ukraine.
