Trump Rejects Ukraine's Drone-Defense Offer, Says U.S. Drones Lead

TL;DR Summary
President Donald Trump told Fox News that the United States does not need Ukraine’s help with drone defenses, arguing the U.S. has the best drones in the world, even as Kyiv had offered to share its drone tech and experience with the United States and Middle Eastern partners. Zelensky had previously said Ukraine agreed to aid Washington in protecting U.S. bases in Jordan, and Kyiv has pursued drone-defense exchanges with multiple countries since last year, though Washington’s reception has been mixed amid broader Middle East tensions.
