America Now | US contractors reluctant to hand over licenses

from RT on Odysee · host RT

As Ukraine is desperately pleading for licenses to produce the U.S. Patriot air defense systems themselves, the manufacturers – Raytheon and Lockheed Martin – are reportedly worried that it could hurt American production. Meanwhile, former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is once again trying to revise history and claim he didn’t derail a potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine back in 2022, despite the record showing that he most certainly did. America Now anchor Ben Swann looks at how none of the past promises of a decisive victory for Ukraine ever materialized. Plus, we’re learning this week that artificial intelligence can now design brand-new viruses from scratch, and can actually replicate them in a lab. America Now correspondent Jalyssa Dugrot digs into the details behind what sounds like a science-fiction nightmare.
