Pres. Zelenskyy had 3 opportunities to sign the rare earths mineral agreement. The 3 rd opportunity came when Zelenskyy and his advisors said they wanted to come to the White House to sign the deal.
Zelenskyy showed up to the White House at 11:23 for a meeting with President Trump scheduled for 11 am. President Trump invited the press into the room with Zelenskyy and his advisors and VP JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other Trump Administration advisors. After about 30 minutes a belligerent Zelenskyy chose to argue that the deal must include security for Ukraine, American troops in Ukraine. Unacceptable for Pres. Trump.
As Zelenskyy became louder and ungrateful for Americas $350 billions spent on Ukraine, President Trump said it was good for everyone to see this and said Pres. Zelenskyy is not a person he could do business with. Obviously Zelenskyy does not want peace.
I don’t think Zelenskyy is credible if he now says he wants to sign the rare earths mineral deal.
IMO the United States should cut off all aid to Ukraine.
“IMO the United States should cut off all aid to Ukraine.”
I agree, that would force an end but I don’t expect that to happen. I expect Putin to keep taking territory until he feels safe enough to stop. NATO/Ukraine can’t stop Putin from doing so, they are weaker than ever due to lack of troops and nobody is sending 200k combat troops to save Ukraine.
