> The United States is continuing discussions with Ukraine over Patriot missiles despite doubts expressed by Trump. One option under consideration would involve producing some missile components in Ukraine. Final assembly could then take place elsewhere in Europe, according to one source. The proposal points to ongoing efforts to work out how production and assembly might be organized.
