Trump asked the reporter, “Do you live yourself now in Ukraine?”

Trump said: “Wow. These are harsh things, right? This is difficult.” “Let me tell you only, they want to get anti -Motisy missiles, as they call it, the patriots. We will see if we can make some available.”

“You know, it’s very difficult to get it. We also need them,” Trump said. “We were providing them with Israel, and they are very effective. They are 100 % effective.

“Say hello to your husband. Well?” Trump added.

Trump met with Ukrainian leader Folodimir Zellinsky on the sidelines of the NATO summit earlier on Wednesday, and suggested that increasing spending by the Atlantic alliance can help prevent Russian aggression in the future against his neighbors.

At the press conference, Trump entered the CNN and the New York Times about covering the American strikes on Iran, but it showed warmth to the Ukrainian journalist and asking it about Patriot missiles.

Over the course of the war, the United States routinely pressed the allies to provide Ukraine air defense systems, but many of them hesitate to abandon high -tech systems, especially countries in Eastern Europe, which also feel threatened by Russia.

NATO members agreed to raise their spending targets by 2035 to 5 % of GDP annually on the basic defense requirements as well as defense and security spending. This goal was 2 % of GDP.

Trump said the Ukraine crisis “also highlighted the urgency of rebuilding our defensive industrial base, whether in the United States or between allied countries.” He said that the United States cannot rely on foreign opponents of critical minerals.

Soon after seeing Zelinski, Trump said he would soon meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. He pointed out that there are difficulties in dealing with both leaders.

Trump was asked by a different correspondent whether the United States will contribute to any other money to Ukraine’s defense this year in addition to the $ 5 billion offered by the Allies.
