President Trump told reporters that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will visit the White House on Friday to sign a minerals deal.
-snip-
Ukrainian and U.S. officials said U.S. envoy Gen. Keith Kellogg played a key role in containing the crisis over the minerals deal and preventing it from turning into a deeper rift between Trump and Zelensky.
"General Kellogg's meetings with Zelensky in Kyiv last Wednesday and Thursday were extremely important. Patient, persistent diplomacy can yield results," a U.S. official involved in the talks said.

Oh God, quit giving this grifter anymore publicity.
This is good. He is stealing it from BlackRock... :)
Kinda sorta.
Trump should mark off a spot on his ass for Z-man to kiss while he’s at it.
I suspect these rights will net us billions of dollars. Not quite enough to offset the billions that were wasted by Biden in prolonging this war.
But still.... every little bit helps.
You cannot believe that Blackrock has been cut out of this. The opposite is true. And isn’t it awesome? Washington DC will be permanently economically joined with the most corrupt government on earth. At the very moment we’re trying to reform DC, we do this. That’s like a recovering alcoholic getting hooked up with a hard-core drunk to go barhopping. This is a really bad move, we should’ve left the money we spent in Ukraine as a sink cost and moved on. Now we have this damned Ukrainian tar baby mixed up with DC forever.
Everything that makes money is not good necessarily.
Sounds hopeful.
This is going to be the hardest money America ever got. 30 years from now, our children will still have to deal with that corrupt country Ukraine. All of the children these politicians are going to have Hunter Biden jobs in Ukraine. We should’ve simply walked away. Now we made Ukraine our problem. Horrific
Well, THAT was Quick!
Great win for Trump and could be a win/win for the U.S. and Ukraine. We’ll see.
A lot depends on how the deal is written.
"Z" doesn't really know what they have. But I'll bet Russia does.
We'll probably wind up with an even bigger deal with Russia...on the "occupied" lands.
He better be wearing a phucking suit!
The House vote tonight is pretty important. It contains $0 for Ukraine. Trump wants it to pass, not the Senate’s version that is multi portioned.
The agreement establishes the principle that Trump wants repayment, not losing more money. This somehow is being missed in the Congress coverage.
I'm sure there's an exit clause in the proposed agreement.
IF, and that is a big ‘IF’, if it brings peace to Europe, then it’s worth it.
A suit and tap dancing shoes.
And I’ll bet that Trump told him “DIRECTLY”...”wear a damn suit”....Look like a President and not someone that sleeps on a park bench.
I’ve seen the videos of the soldiers shooting other soldiers at point blank range with them knowing it’s coming.
