#FBI abruptly shifts course, begins working with #Russia and #China — Reuters

🚨🇺🇸🇺🇦 Trump has reportedly rejected Zelensky’s request for 300 additional Patriot interceptors. The decision underscores growing concerns in Washington over dwindling U.S. missile stockpiles as tensions in the Middle East continue to rise.
According to the Financial Times, President Donald Trump declined Ukraine’s request for 300 additional Patriot interceptor missiles, citing limited U.S. inventories.
The report says Trump argued that, amid the ongoing conflict with Iran, the interceptors are needed to protect American forces, military bases, and strategic assets across the Middle East and the Persian Gulf.
The decision reflects the increasing strain on U.S. air defense resources, as Washington seeks to balance support for Ukraine with the need to maintain sufficient missile reserves for its own global security commitments.
