00:02Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump had told him he would grant Ukraine
00:10a license to build Patriot missiles.
00:12There is a concrete confidence that President Trump at the last meeting with me said that yes, I took the
00:23final decision. The license for the rocket Patriot is that Ukraine will receive.
00:29Zelensky and Trump met on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York earlier this week.
00:35Kiev has long asked allies to supply more interceptors and has been pushing for a license to produce Patriot missiles
00:42domestically to counter Russian ballistic missile attacks.
00:46At a NATO summit in Ankara in July, Trump had said he would grant Ukraine the right to make Patriot
00:52missiles.
00:53We're going to give a license to you to make Patriots. That's pretty cool, right?
00:58This way you can't complain that we're not giving them enough.
01:00He said, make them yourself. We haven't informed the company of that yet, but that'll work out all right. Sure,
01:09they'll be thrilled.
01:11He appeared to walk back at Promise in late July, telling a cabinet meeting he had not agreed to it.
