US President Donald Trump said he is considering granting licenses to American defense companies to produce weapons directly in Europe and Ukraine.
He told reporters on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Evian, France, Bloomberg writes .
If the agreement is signed, Ukrainian and European companies will be able to manufacture American weapons under license — effectively gaining access to technologies and documentation from US manufacturers.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz confirmed: this is about «granting comprehensive licenses by American companies to European manufacturers.» There is a precedent — Patriot missiles are already partially produced in Germany under license. However, the US traditionally strongly protects such agreements due to intellectual property and supply chain issues
It’s no secret that Ukraine’s air defense system is critically dependent on American interceptors—missiles designed to destroy Russian ballistic missiles. The problem is that only the United States produces such systems, and supplies are already significantly depleted. Scaling up production at American factories takes time—and that’s where licensing comes into play.
