Poland has proposed establishing a trilateral framework with the United States and Ukraine to jointly produce missiles for Patriot air defence systems, suggesting that manufacturing take place in a \u201csafe location\u201d to address security concerns.<\/p>\n
Speaking after talks at the Pentagon, Deputy Defence Minister Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka said the discussions built on remarks made by U.S. President Donald Trump during the NATO summit in Ankara regarding the potential establishment of a Patriot missile production facility in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe talked about what U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned during the [NATO] summit in Ankara, namely his statement that the creation of a plant in Ukraine for the production of [Patriot] missiles would be considered,\u201d Sobkowiak-Czarnecka said at a press conference broadcast by Polsat<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe proposal of the Polish side, which I presented today, addresses the concerns of the American side. We proposed that cooperation on this issue could be conducted in a triangle between the United States, Ukraine and Poland,\u201d she said. \u201cThe point is that production should take place in a safe location,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
