President Trump said Wednesday that he was weighing sending additional Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine amid intensifying Russian attacks. But it was not immediately clear whether Mr. Trump was considering donating the Patriots to Ukraine — as his predecessor, former President Joseph R. Biden Jr., and several European allies have done — or selling them to Kyiv.
“We’re going to see if we can make some available,” Mr. Trump said during a news conference at the NATO summit in The Hague, where he held a nearly hourlong meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine. But Mr. Trump cautioned that the systems, which Mr. Zelensky proposed buying directly in April, were “very hard to get” and in limited supply, especially with the United States already providing some to Israel.
