Trump says Zelensky to visit White House Friday to sign minerals deal
Axios ^ | 2/25/2025 | Barak Ravid

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.

On one hand, I’m at peace right now. So it’s not a critical requirement for me. But what I do care about is Washington DC, and killing the corruption there. I can’t think of a more sure way for the corruption to return that I have an economic partnership with Ukraine with long-term implications. All those scions of Romney, Pelosi, Kerry, Biden etc. That is gonna be the future. Powerful people in America in the future will have their children involved in the Ukraine industry the white British families used to send their younger sons to India for the Raj.

I fully understand. Like you I would rather be rid of them completely and cut strings. But I would rather we have the rights as a nation rather than the globalists have the rights to undermine our nationality.

This is a huge hit to their global rule. Anything we can do to hit them in the pocketbook is a good investment in our own future. BlackRock is a much bigger threat to national security than Russia is.

How much of our tax dollar money went to Ukraine? I’d like to be in on the ground floor of this rare-earth mineral mining deal. I need to know which American companies are going to involved.

It will be amusing to see Zelensky crawl into the White House and grovel at Trump's feet while signing this deal>

That should not, however, preclude us from working out a favorable trade deal with Russia.

Z isn’t a saint and after the war is over, he will need to explain why he wasn’t paying attention to what was going on at the Kherson-Crimea border before Putin invaded. As well as the Russian collaborators in Kherson and Odesa.

Blackrock is in the room and will be full participants. Guaranteed. In fact, directing that business to them is the main reason FOR this deal.

It will be interesting to learn the terms the deal.

The 500 billion dollar number was actually a threshold number. After the 500 billion dollar threshold was reached, the repayment clause to Ukraine would be considered paid in full and then the repayment would stop.

Look like that one is gone.

“directing that business”

But see here is the keyword here... “directing”. They will have to deal with our government and we will have control of the terms as a nation. As it was they had direct unchecked private rights.

Now we will have a check on BlackRock, A check on the Ukraine, and in essence a check on Russia because we have national interests there now.
