ANKARA, July 8 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the United States will give a license to Ukraine for Patriot missiles as he said both Russia and Ukraine want to see the war settled.

"We're going to give a license to you to make Patriots.

That's pretty cool.

This way, you can't complain that we're not giving 'em enough," Trump said at a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy at the NATO summit in Ankara.

"It's a defensive weapon, which I like better than an offensive weapon," Trump said.
