According to CoinMeta, and as reported by the Financial Times, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he has not yet decided whether to allow Ukraine to produce Patriot surface-to-air interceptor missiles, which has created uncertainty regarding whether the United States will agree to one of Ukraine's primary demands. In a telephone interview, Trump expressed that he is "not sure" whether the U.S. will issue a license for Ukraine to produce Patriot missiles, adding that "we are studying this matter." Trump said his focus is on ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and that his two special envoys, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, will visit Ukraine for the first time in the coming days. On the Middle East issue, Trump insisted that although Iran has recently attempted to expand the Middle East war by attacking targets in the region, it is only a matter of time before Tehran yields. "We are hitting them hard," he said. Additionally, Trump is optimistic about the U.S. ultimately finalizing the landmark civil nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia announced last week.
