The Trump administration moved Germany ahead of Switzerland for the next Patriot air-defense systems off the production line to let Berlin send two Patriots it already has to Ukraine

The Trump administration has bumped Germany up the priority list to receive the next batch of Patriot air-defense systems, allowing Berlin to send two of its existing Patriots to Ukraine. This decision comes after Trump suggested that allies should foot the bill for more weapons headed to Ukraine. Essentially, it’s a reshuffle to keep Ukraine’s defenses stocked without leaving Germany unprotected.
