Germany Prioritized for Patriot Defense Systems Shipment

In a strategic move, the Trump administration has placed Germany ahead of Switzerland for the forthcoming production of Patriot air-defense systems, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.

This decision paves the way for Germany to transfer two of its current Patriot systems to Ukraine, according to three U.S. officials cited in the report.

The report, however, awaits independent verification by Reuters.
