Here’s the crux: “I spoke to him today. We had a 45-minute conversation. Look, I’m seeing a lot of things in the media that are not accurate, so let me clear those up. And as I did in my conversation with him, number one is the Department of War. Everything they’ve been doing with Ukraine remains the same. That has not changed.”
Then there’s this: “I know one of the things that President Zelensky has been talking about is that he’s been trying to buy interceptors. And I understand. So does every other country in the world. I also talked to Saudi Arabia today. They’d like interceptors. Israel would like interceptors. We would like interceptors. Every country in the world would like interceptors. And many parts of the world are asking for that.”
It’s a real sellers’ market for anyone who can ramp up.
