Trump and Zelenskyy are meeting to sign the minerals deal. The agreement comes after some back and forth bantering that saw Trump call Zelenskyy a dictator and demanding $500B and Zelenskyy balking strongly.
What is being said?
Trump.
We have something that is very we have something that is a very fair deal.
It is a big commitment from the United States
We’ve started the confines of a deal
We are going to take bearers and use it for all we do, including AI and military weapons.
This would be a great agreement if we could get the war stopped.
Spoke to Putin
You always have to make compromises and certainly he will have to make compromises
I am in the middle, on for both Ukraine and Russia
I want to get it solved
Very committed to Poland.
Your ventilator have to step up
Putin wants to make a deal
There is not agreement from Ukraine to purchase US LNG.
I am not aligned with prudent, unaligned with the US and the good of the world.
You are gambling with WWIII
You have to be thankful
Zelenskyy:
hopeful this document will be a step forward for Ukraine.
I want to discuss what US is ready to do.
We see a good deal for LNG terminals
Zelenskyy on the mineral deal: This document is not enough.
Putin began war, he has to pay
I don’t know…it seems like Zelenskyy is not all that happy, but it seems he had to offer something to stay in the graces of Pres. Trump. However, comments from Trump are focused on ending the war, and that he is more focused on compromise vs. getting it all from Russia.
