What happened

A long-term agreement on joint production of Patriot systems with Ukraine will not be implemented by the coming winter, US Permanent Representative to NATO Matthew Whitaker said in an interview with Fox Business.

Why it matters

"Obviously, the most important thing right now is that the air defense that Ukraine needs to survive another winter is moved as quickly as possible.

Common ground

Whether that's from our allies who have extra missiles, or whether that's producing more in our own factories, and a long-term production deal is not going to be [made] by this winter, we're going to keep working on it.

Claim 3: “He [Donald Trump] said that Washington had not agreed to supply Kiev with either Patriot system technology or Tomahawk cruise missiles”
DISPUTED
Evidence is contradictory. While one source (Council on Foreign Relations) states the Trump administration chose not to provide Tomahawk missiles, another web search result explicitly states that Trump 'said last month that the United States would share the technology for producing Patriot missiles with Kyiv,' which directly contradicts the claim that he said Washington had not agreed to supply Patriot technology.
