美国总统特朗普在华盛顿分别会见了乌克兰总统泽连斯基和以色列总理内塔尼亚胡[1]。在与泽连斯基的会谈中，泽连斯基表示特朗普已同意向乌克兰提供爱国者导弹的国内生产许可证[1]。这一许可将用于帮助乌克兰防御俄罗斯的无人机和弹道导弹攻击[1]。乌克兰此前已表示需要25套爱国者拦截系统[1]，该系统可拦截航程达1000公里的火箭[1]。据估算，每枚爱国者导弹的成本为300万至500万美元[1]。
与内塔尼亚胡的会谈中，两人重点讨论了伊朗核问题[1]。内塔尼亚胡称这是"我与美国总统进行过的最好的对话之一"[1]。两次会谈都在参议员林赛·格雷厄姆的葬礼期间进行[1]。美国军方指出，伊朗部队试图对美军发动袭击，但所有导弹已被拦截[1]。
President Trump held separate meetings in Washington with Ukrainian President Zelensky and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu amid ongoing regional conflicts.[1] During his encounter with Zelensky, Trump agreed to grant Ukraine a domestic production license for Patriot missiles, according to the Ukrainian leader.[1] Zelensky stated that Trump "accepted giving us the license" to manufacture the weapons domestically.[1] The Patriot systems are capable of intercepting rockets with a range of up to 1,000 kilometers, addressing Ukraine's need to defend against Russian drone and ballistic missile attacks.[1]
Ukraine previously indicated it required 25 Patriot interceptor systems, with each missile estimated to cost between $3 million and $5 million.[1] In his meeting with Netanyahu, Trump discussed Iran's nuclear program, and the Israeli prime minister characterized the conversation as "one of the best dialogues I have had with the American president."[1] Both meetings took place during Senator Lindsey Graham's funeral.[1] The U.S. military reported that Iranian forces attempted a significant attack against American personnel, with all missiles successfully intercepted.[1]
