President Donald Trump said on Friday that the United States has not agreed to allow Ukraine to build Patriot missile systems, reversing an earlier pledge to grant Kyiv a license to manufacture the interceptors. Trump had said during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Turkey this month that he would give Ukraine a license to produce Patriot missile interceptors to help defend against Russian strikes. He has since backed away from that commitment, stating that talks are ongoing and that the US must be careful about letting anyone build such weapons. The remarks mark a shift in the administration's position on transferring the technology to Ukraine.
