Trump Rejects Ukraine's Request for Hundreds of Patriot Missiles, Citing Stockpiles and Iran Conflict
US President Donald Trump has rejected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's request to purchase several hundred additional Patriot missiles, citing tight American stockpiles and the need to respond to a conflict with Iran.
Last month, at a NATO summit, Trump floated the idea of authorizing Ukraine to produce Patriot missiles. In recent days, however, he said such authorizations must be treated with caution. Several European NATO members have said that, without weakening their own defense capabilities, their aid to Ukraine is nearing its limit.
