German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has pledged to finalize a deal to supply Ukraine with additional American-made Patriot missile defense systems “quickly and quietly,” following talks with US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in Washington.
Pistorius and Hegseth met at the Pentagon on Monday, just hours after President Donald Trump promised more US weapons for Kiev – funded by European NATO states – and threatened Moscow with “severe tariffs” if no peace deal is reached within 50 days.
“We agreed to discuss [the details] very, very quickly – quietly and quickly – at the working level,” Pistorius told journalists after the meeting, noting that technical, logistical, and financial questions remained, but appeared solvable.
