Leaving a G7 meeting in France, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters: "If the United States has a military need, whether it's to replenish our stockpiles or to carry out some mission in the national interest of the United States, we will always be first when it comes to our weapons."
The publication notes that American Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems have been redeployed from Europe to the Middle East as Washington redirects resources to the war with Iran. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Kyiv would "clearly" face a shortage of Patriot systems due to the war with Iran.
"If we need something for America, and it's American, we'll keep it for America first," Rubio said. "But at this point, that hasn't happened."
