During his meeting with President Trump, Mr. Zelensky aimed to advance Kyiv's request for US assistance in bolstering its air defences. A key focus was the potential for the United States to grant Ukraine a license for the domestic production of Patriot interceptor missiles. Ukraine has sought these missiles to defend its cities against escalating Russian drone and ballistic missile attacks. The Patriot system is capable of intercepting ballistic missiles with flight ranges up to 1,000km. Mr. Zelensky told Fox News after the meeting that President Trump had agreed to provide the necessary licenses, expressing hope for future co-production with American military companies. The Ukrainian president had previously indicated that Ukraine requires 25 Patriot interceptor systems.
Shared Goals on Iran
Prime Minister Netanyahu's discussions with President Trump reportedly centred on the conflict in Iran. Ties between the US and Israel have experienced strain due to differing perspectives on Iran. Following their meeting, Mr. Netanyahu informed Israeli media that he and President Trump had reached "an understanding of a shared goal, to ensure that Iran does not have nuclear weapons, and other goals as well." He described it as "one of the best conversations" he had with the US president.
