Trump says US will send Patriot missiles to Ukraine: 'They desperately need' them
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said the United States will send Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine that will be reimbursed for by the European Union, offering critical help to Kyiv as it battles an onslaught of Russian drone attacks. Trump did not specify how many weapons systems the United States would provide and told reporters it had not been agreed upon yet. The United States, Trump stressed, would not pay for them. He then heaped fresh criticism on Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he's soured against in recent weeks. "We will send them Patriots, which they desperately need," Trump said of Ukraine while speaking with reporters at Joint Base Andrews on July 13. "Putin really surprised a lot of people. He talks nice and then he bombs everybody in the evening. There's a little bit of a problem there. I don't like it." Ukraine latest: Trump escalates criticism of Putin, rearms Ukraine, as Russia's war plows on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been pressing Trump to allow his country to purchase Patriot missile air defense systems from the United States as Russia intensifies its missile and drone attacks. Shipments of the missile systems that were previously approved were paused by a Pentagon review of U.S. military stockpiles and then resumed last week by Trump. "Ukraine is ready to buy this equipment and support American weapons manufacturers. Europe can help," Zelenskyy said after a June 25 meeting with Trump. While speaking to reporters after returning from the FIFA Club World Cup match in New Jersey, Trump said the United States would be sending Ukraine "sophisticated military" equipment. The plan was expected to be part of an Oval Office discussion at the White House with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Trump said in an interview with NBC News last week that the United States would be sending weapons to NATO that the military alliance would be paying for. 'We are not paying for any more weapons,' Trump told NBC at the time. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: US will send Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine: Donald Trump

The Benefit of Ebbing EVs
Helping Ukraine against a weakened Russia coincides nicely with the demise of electric vehicles, wind turbines and solar panels ('Trump Calls Out the Putin Charade,' Review and Outlook, July 9). Freed-up U.S. manufacturing capacity can go to missile systems and ammunition primarily for sale to Europe and use by Ukraine. General Motors has shown such versatility by producing tens of thousands of tanks and armored vehicles in World War II and 30,000 ventilators during the Covid pandemic. It's time to heed Rahm Emanuel's rule: You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. William J. Doyle

'Very disappointed': Trump slams Putin, moves to send Ukraine weapons
President Donald Trump lashed out at Vladimir Putin ahead of a meeting with the secretary general of NATO, again venting his frustration with the Russian leader's unwillingness to de-escalate in Ukraine. 'I am very disappointed with President Putin,' Trump said July 13 at Joint Base Andrews. 'I thought he was somebody that meant what he said. And he'll talk so beautifully and then he'll bomb people at night. We don't like that.' More: Trump said he'd end Ukraine war in 24 hours. Now his patience with Putin is wearing thin. Trump's increasingly tough rhetoric against Putin comes as he moves to boost U.S. military support for Ukraine, telling reporters July 13 that he will send Patriot air defense missiles to the war-ravaged country that was invaded by Russia in 2022. Trump said the European Union will reimburse the United States for the missiles. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been pressing Trump to allow his country to purchase Patriot missile air defense systems from the United States as Russia intensifies its missile and drone attacks. Shipments of the missile systems that were previously approved were paused by a Pentagon review of U.S. military stockpiles and then resumed last week by Trump. While speaking to reporters after returning from the FIFA Club World Cup match in New Jersey, Trump said the United States would send Ukraine "sophisticated military" equipment. The plan was expected to be part of an Oval Office discussion at the White House with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Trump's amicable approach to Putin – he called him 'very kind' just last month – has increasingly been laced with criticism as Russia continues to heavily bombard Ukrainian cities despite efforts by U.S. officials to reach a ceasefire. With Putin pressing forward on the war effort, Trump has moved to help Ukraine with weapons and Congress is considering legislation that would increase sanctions on Russia.
