President Trump is backtracking on allowing Ukraine to build Patriot missiles, saying in an interview he was “not sure” about the move.
The president told the Financial Times in a phone interview that “We’re looking at it,” Trump said. ” It’s a very extraordinary weapon, and we have to be a little bit careful of who we license it to. We don’t really license equipment.”

Battlefield learning for drone operations is increasingly being considered in real-time, as militaries try to adapt to counter new threats.
Nearly four decades before Dwight Eisenhower signed a bill that created interstate highways, he received an up-close look at the state of America’s roads.
Eisenhower was not impressed.
“It seems evident that a very small amount of money spent at the proper time would have kept the road in good condition,” the future supreme commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force and president said.
Kyiv’s military position remains difficult, but it is not a situation of collapse. Russia continues to grind forward in parts of Ukraine’s Donetsk region while also maintaining pressure along several sectors of the front. Ukrainian forces have become increasingly dependent on drones, long-range strikes, and better use of technology to offset shortages of infantry and ammunition. But at the political level, the biggest story over the past few weeks has not been the battlefield itself, but an unusually turbulent reframing of Ukraine’s civilians and military leadership.
As the war in Iran continues, a new pattern has emerged, one that eschews large-scale strikes in favor of more sustained, tit-for-tat exchanges involving Iran, the United States, Israel, and Tehran’s regional allies — with no sign of either side backing down. While the front lines remain centered on Iran, the fighting has increasingly spilled across the Middle East, drawing in groups like the Houthis and raising serious concerns about global energy supplies, shipping, and the risk of a broader conflagration in the Middle East spiraling out of control.
