German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has urged US President Donald Trump to join the EU in its drive to supply weapons to Ukraine, including more missile defense systems.
Trump has been critical of providing aid without reciprocal benefits, and his administration has not approved any new Ukraine assistance since he took office. Earlier this month, the Pentagon suspended shipments of certain air defense missiles and other precision munitions to Ukraine. However, deliveries were resumed earlier this week.
Speaking at a conference in Rome on Thursday, Merz urged the US president to transfer additional Patriot systems – something Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky has repeatedly requested.
