President Trump and I have reached an important deal on licenses to produce Patriot systems. Our teams are now working to implement this truly historic political agreement. We worked toward this for a very long time.
But we always stress one thing – the more diverse our defense is, the harder it will be for our enemies to undermine security in Europe. That is why we need to move faster on Patriots, and SAMP/T, IRIS-T, NASAMS, and, of course, our FREYJA project.
I believe Europe can provide itself with enough protection against any ballistic threat. And Europe can also become a strong contributor to global security.
At the Coalition of the Willing. (3/3)
