Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday evening that U.S. President Donald Trump intends to ask American defense companies to establish Patriot missile production lines in Ukraine and Europe. The statement was reported by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12).
This comes amid a series of recent interactions between Trump and Zelensky. As The Zioneer has reported, the two have held phone calls and meetings in recent weeks, including a lengthy call on June 14 and a face-to-face meeting on June 16. The discussion of Patriot production signals a potential shift toward on-theater manufacturing rather than only deliveries from U.S. stockpiles. No official confirmation from the White House or Pentagon has been published.
