Trump said that the U.S. will give a license for its Patriot air defense systems to be made overseas for Ukraine to counter Russian missile attacks, a huge coup for Ukraine which has badly needed the technology in the war that's now in its fifth year.

Trump made the announcement as he met Wednesday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the NATO summit in Turkey, praising him as having "done an amazing job" and "been very effective" in the war.
"We'll give them the right to make Patriots. We'll show them how to do it," Trump said.
Zelenskyy has long sought more of the defense systems, which are expensive, in high demand and take a long time to manufacture. He's been pressing for Ukraine to be granted a license to manufacture the technology.
Trump has warm remarks in meeting with Zelenskyy
Though the U.S. president and his Ukrainian counterpart had a tense encounter at the White House last year, Trump said Wednesday as he sat with Zelenskyy, "We've actually developed a good relationship. It's hard to believe."
He said Ukraine has a good future with "such great land, such great assets, such great people" and that they were going to have a good talk together.
He also called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "difficult character" and Zelenskyy "a difficult character."
Trump says U.S. is preparing for more strikes against Iran
The president said that the U.S. is preparing for another night of strikes against Iran, just hours after he said the ceasefire was over.
"We hit them very hard last night," Trump said when asked about a possible return to hostilities. "We'll probably hit them hard again tonight."

Trump made the remark in Ankara on the sidelines of the NATO summit. He said the strikes are continued retaliation for attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
"They are behaving very badly," he said of Iran, accusing the country of launching drones and a missile at ships.
Trump threatens to strike Iran's civilian infrastructure
Trump threatened Wednesday to strike Iran's civilian infrastructure and to seize Kharg Island, with its oil infrastructure, as his ceasefire with Tehran appeared to be in tatters.
Trump made the threats after announcing that the U.S. was preparing for a second night of strikes against Iran after Iranian attacks on American military sites in the Gulf.

If the U.S. has to, Trump said, it will take out Iran's electric plants and desalinization plants. He said Tuesday's strikes included attacks on Kharg Island but not its oil facilities.
"Maybe we'll take over Kharg Island. We may take over Kharg Island. There's not a thing they could do about it," Trump said.
Trump has not only warmed to Zelenskyy but also Ukraine's drone technology
As Trump was heaping praise on Zelenskyy and his country's efforts in the war with Russia, he commended Ukraine's use of drones to counter attacks and suggested the U.S. might buy the technology.
It's a shift for Trump, who had previously been dismissive of Ukraine's use of the low-cost but effective unmanned aircraft in the war and suggested the U.S. technology and tactics were superior.
Trump said Wednesday that the U.S. makes great drones, but it might buy from Ukraine because "they have an ability to make a lot of them" and called it "amazing."
"It's an amazing ability, very cheap," he said.
"You're very talented people," he said to Zelenskyy. "So uh, yeah, I think we're going to make that deal. You know, if we made that deal, we'd have great protection."
