Donald Trump uncertain on Ukraine Patriot missile licence

U.S. President Donald Trump told the Financial Times in a phone interview that he is not certain whether Washington will grant Ukraine a licence to produce Patriot interceptor missiles, describing the system as “an extraordinary weapon” and saying the United States “does not normally licence such equipment.”

At the NATO summit in early July, Trump had pledged that the United States would allow Ukraine to produce Patriot missiles, a promise reiterated during a closed‑door White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on July 28. Zelensky posted on X that the two leaders discussed the licence and other ideas to boost Kyiv’s air defence.

Trump emphasized that his primary goal is ending the war in Ukraine, not supplying missiles, and added that he wants peace. He noted that senior advisers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are scheduled to travel to Kyiv in the coming days to discuss the issue and broader diplomatic steps.
