So, why is Trump getting cold feet on licensing Patriot missile construction to Ukraine?

Did he get a call from Putin? Does Trump want a piece of the action?

Trump says US has not agreed to Ukraine building Patriot missiles

CAMP DAVID, Maryland, July 31 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Friday that the United States has not agreed to ​Ukraine building Patriot missiles but that talks are ongoing, adding that the U.S. ‌must be "very careful about letting somebody build them."

Trump said during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Turkey this month that he was going to give Ukraine a license to manufacture Patriot missile interceptors ​to help defend against Russian strikes, but has since backed away from that pledge ​despite hosting Zelenskiy at the White House this week.

Asked about the Patriot missiles ⁠during a cabinet meeting at the Camp David retreat on Friday, Trump emphasized concerns about ​sharing advanced U.S. weaponry including missile technology.

"It's a big step," Trump said.

"In the case of President ​Zelenskiy, he'd like to have some Patriots, he'd like to have some Tomahawks, which are you know lethal — one offensive, one defensive," Trump said.
