The Patriot system is precisely the key to protection against ballistic threats.'"

This dialogue suggests that President Trump may authorize the sending of Patriot missiles to Ukraine, signaling a potential shift in U.S. support.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back.

The wind is howling here at the beach. We're getting blasted by the sand. Still some leftover rain. We've got six to eight footers rolling in. Later on as the wind goes offshore, they'll clear up and the surfers are going to love that. Looking up the beach. There's a few folks out here. You know, I've spoken to a lot of people covering all these storms over the years, storms and hurricanes. A lot of them come out here because they've never experienced a tropical storm or hurricane. They just want to take it in. And it's safe to do so right now as long as you stay out of the water as far as impacts. Power outage is not too bad because the peak wind gust was here at the pier just down the beach at Spring Main Pier in Myrtle Beach. The peak wind gust for the storm that we've seen on the coast so far, 56 miles an hour.
