As election enters its final stretch, some Republicans are distancing from Trump
With less than six weeks until Election Day, a growing number of Republicans are breaking from Trump on key issues. It comes as the party is scrambling to hold onto a slim majority in Congress.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed on Friday that US President Donald Trump had granted Ukraine the licences to produce advanced Patriot air defence missiles. This followed a series of reversals on the issue. Kyiv is currently facing a severe shortage of these missiles, which are the only reliable defence against Russia's ballistic missiles.
Speaking to journalists, Zelensky confirmed that Trump had made a "final decision." However, he noted that while Ukraine would receive the production licences, establishing industrial capacity to meet immediate needs would take over a year. The Ukrainian president reiterated his calls for urgent support as the country prepares for the upcoming winter and anticipates potential Russian strikes against its power and heating infrastructure.
