U.S. President Donald Trump's administration and Ukraine plan to sign the much-debated minerals deal following a disastrous Oval Office meeting Friday in which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was dismissed from the building, four people familiar with the situation said on Tuesday.

President Donald Trump has told his advisers that he wants to announce the agreement in his address to Congress Tuesday evening, three of the sources said, cautioning that the deal had yet to be signed and the situation could change.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Ukraine’s presidential administration in Kyiv and the Ukrainian embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

OK. Here’s the thing, the Brits ALREADY signed a deal with Zippyyy, and have first claim on Ukie minerals.

[RummyChick]

what about the deal with the Brits?

[bgill]

Ack, we’re going to get screwed over. Z will steal more than his fair share, Putin will grab it right when we get it up and going or EU will whine their way in.

[marcusmaximus]

President Trump trumps the Brits.

[bgill]

Any deal with Z is oh so last week.

Is the British deal for exclusive rights to Ukraine's mineral resources? Or can both the US and the UK extract revenue from those mineral rights at the same time?

“..what about the deal with the Brits?...”

Apparently, they have a deal with Canada to drop nukes on us.... Spit.
Betcha Trump gets past em on the minerals deal too....or he wouldn’t sign it.

Not going to happen if the grifter insists on NATO involvement, which he will.

Sign nothing until we learn where our money went.

[Just mythoughts]

The U- crack head, has already sold his junk to the looney UK ... now since this penis piano playing coke head got himself elected to the vaunted position of ‘president’ of the Ukraine ... how many prime ministers have the UK gone through ... the mini Z is a curse..

The Brits got Ziggy to renege on the Minsk agreements, so the precedent has been set.

Here's the thing, Trump can make a deal with the Russians for even more minerals at a better deal.

President Trump trumps the Brits.

No, firm up the minerals deal first.

[dragnet2]

This will piss off the Neocons big time.

They've been PO'd since January 20, 2025. The few posers left on this site prove that.

We've heard this before.

No sane person would trust Zelensky to follow through until he signs.

You are sure right about that. This will agitate them even more. lol

[Starboard]

You simply cannot make deals with con artists, liars and people who show you no respect. The first step toward getting a peace deal is for Ukraine to replace Zelensky. He is their problem. Until that happens no further talks.
