Trump Says Ukraine Can Build Patriot Missiles!

President Trump announces that Ukraine will be licensed to produce Patriot missiles domestically. This move is seen as a long-term solution for Ukraine's defense needs, even if not an immediate fix for current shortages.

When asked by Trump if he would go to Moscow, Zelenskyy humorously replied, 'It's difficult. There are a lot of Ukrainian drones there.' Additionally, Turkey's sanctions for purchasing S-400s are being lifted, and President Erdogan confirms Turkey's support for providing weapons to Ukraine under the Pearl framework and through national stockpiles.

Norway pledges an additional €268 million for Patriot air defense missiles for Ukraine. Zelenskyy meets with a bipartisan US Congressional delegation to discuss the shortage of interceptor missiles and Russian strikes. He also met with the President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, to discuss Ukraine's EU accession path and with Polish President Naraki to discuss bilateral tensions and cooperation.

The Polish President expresses a desire for a permanent US military base in Poland, noting the nearly 10,000 American troops already stationed there. Zelenskyy also met with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung, expressing gratitude for a $100 million comprehensive support package, with potential future collaboration on drone technology.

NATO allies are set to approve a 70 billion euro per year military support commitment for Ukraine for the next two years and recognize Ukraine as a contributor to NATO security. A report highlights significant growth in defense spending among Baltic States and Poland since 2014, with Lithuania showing a 777% increase. Ukraine's combat experience is also shaping NATO's approach to countering drones.

General Ben Hodges refutes the idea of NATO being a 'paper tiger,' emphasizing its historical success as a defensive alliance. Meanwhile, the International Olympic Committee's decision to lift the ban on Russian athletes, allowing them to compete under their national flag, draws strong criticism for disregarding the impact on Ukrainian athletes and potentially legitimizing Russia's actions.

The video concludes by questioning the motivation behind Trump's decision to license Patriot missile production to Ukraine, speculating it could be a move to offload responsibility, generate revenue, or reduce requests for aid. The host emphasizes that despite this positive step, continued pressure on Russia is necessary for any diplomatic solution.
