U.S. President Donald Trump has privately made it clear to his aides that he will not resume providing military aid and intelligence to Ukraine even if Kyiv and Washington sign a minerals deal, NBC News reported on March 9.

Europeans will be Providing equipment and arms to Ukraine...they won't be US made. Intel work around have already started.itin wants US out and Trump is providing.
Why would anyone trust Trump? He has no problem breaking deals. He has no problem lying. He has no connection with integrity. He has no problem stiffing the other side. He does not want Ukraine to win. Trump is the snake he talks about.
I see a lot of things Trump wants Zelenskyy to agree. Many things he believes are non-starters. It is very short on what Putin must agree to. I don’t know why Zelenskyy would do mineral deal with Trump.
Remember Trump negotiated on behalf of the Afghan govt, leading to overthrow of their govt and decimation of all their rights. Only difference here is Trump wants to steal Ukraine’s mineral wealth first.
He is a Putin pawn! Most Americans completely oppose this. He is evil incarnate. This is surreal for the US to take this fascist position. We are opposing it.
My understanding is the minerals deal is not worth the paper it is written on. Europe and other allies and Ukraine - We just have to accept that the US is not our friend right now and the relationship will never be the same.... Get launching the Taurus missiles.
To be fair Canada has more exploitable strategic ressources than Ukraine but the EU could very probably use those of both 🇨🇦 &🇺🇦 since Trump said 🇨🇦 has nothing that the 🇺🇸 needs.
This is where Trump is thinking he is a king - He is not the rule maker - He is President - simply to uphold the rules of Congress -
Trump must be impeached - We must vote out each and every Republican and vote in Democrats to impeach Trump for good -
Then we must establish a new people’s party -
Correct. Trump won’t give Ukraine anything after signing a minerals deal because his word is worthless and he’s Putin’s ally. Ukraine would be wise to only make a deal with trustworthy countries in Europe, Canada, or Australia.
It sucks that the world can’t count on the US. It sucks that 30% of US population left us stuck with this shmuck. We are all stuck with this for the next few years.
Signing a deal with Donald Trump is the same thing as sending money to a Nigerian prince who emails you out of the blue. Somebody please tell Zelenskyy that Trump has no honor, no integrity. So agreements with him will always be one-sided and fraudulent.
Don’t sign the deal, plain and simple. If you want to do a minerals and reconstruction deal. Do it with the real partners UK, France, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Canada, Australia, Spain, Italy (I probably missed a few, sorry)
Then europe can impose a 1000% import tariffs if sold to the US and share the profit with ukraine....US still get their mknerals but instead of sterling them, they get to buy them at a very high price...
An "investment fund" set up for Ukraine's reconstruction, which would be managed by Kyiv & the US on "equal terms".
Ukraine: contributes 50% of future proceeds from state-owned mineral resources, oil & gas to the fund
The Fund would invest "to promote the safety, security & prosperity of Ukraine".
That is what is known to be in the US/Ukraine agreement. (Severely shortened to fit here) I would rather they made the agreement with someone OTHER than a Putin asset.
Because t-Rump is trying to extort that from Ukraine in "repayment" of the money we have given towards the war. He claims it is 3 times higher than it was really..& wants it without giving any further protections for Ukraine. It is obvious he is now rooting for Putin, I hope Zelenskyy rejects it
Trump said in his campaign he wanted to be a dictator on day 1. Zelensky has the integrity to stand up to dictators, like a true leader of the free world 🙏🏼
I don’t think Zelenskyy and team should bother with the meeting then.
All Trump is there to do is steal from Ukraine and then give it away to Russia. He’s not going to let Ukraine have back any of its lost territory, or people, or anything.
Stay strong Ukraine!
I've been screaming this for a week but Don't. Sign. Anything.
Even if they were to secure a 'mineral deal', Trump would move the goal posts AGAIN and hang Ukraine out to dry AGAIN no matter what Ukraine does or says. They are not allies anymore. Don't sign don't sign don't sign
Zelenskyy is not going to sign a deal with the US but he needs to make it appear Ukraine is still cooperative and open to all avenues to achieve peace. He's doing public relations, painting a picture for the world of Ukraine as trying so hard & Russia/US as intractable villains.
A mafia protection racket would be preferable. This is much worse. This is two psychotic gangsters allying to destroy a neighborhood out of pure spite and evil. I assume the signing of the minerals deal is to get a (shaky) guarantee that the US will not arm russia or actively bomb Ukraine.
Annnd, there it is, Volodymyr Zelenskyy knew this would be the case.
My take on the disastrous meeting in the Oval office is two cowards that set up and were verbally attacking a living legend.
Unless Europe steps up in a big way, kraine needs nukes. You have the material and the know how
Biden was weak, Trump is compromised (and taking advice from Elon who wants Russian resoures back on the market more than he cares about lives or freedom)
At this stage I’m totally confident that Trump has done a deal with Putin over the minerals. Trump knows nothing about mining and the Russians do. Trump will sell the deal to Russian interests and take a turn for having set it up. Putin will provide protection.
So why should Ukraine even bother with a deal then, if no promise of support or security guarantees? Trying to understand the logic. Does Mr Mango think Ukraine should be happy with an ”agreement” on Kremlin’s terms? He’s not a mediator in a negotiaition, he’s a looter.
So many of us here in the U.S. feel helpless in light of Trump’s despicable use of extortion and withdrawal of humanitarian aide, $support and intelligence to Ukraine in violation of the Nuclear Arms Treaty. He is a monster in bed with the enemy. Stand strong.💪🏼 Our hearts break for you all!
So now he's in control of Ukraine too? What right does he have to demand Ukraine to do anything? PRESIDENT ZELENSKY PLEASE WALK AWAY. HE'S GOING TO GIVE YOUR COUNTRY TO PUTIN.
Also, Zelenskyy should have no worries about breaking the deal. Trump has famously screwed many contractors who have worked for him. Turn around is fair play. Give Trump some of his own medicine.
Given that there is no upside for Ukraine at all in a minerals deal with the US (it’s pure Trump extortion) they should focus on Europe and ignore Putin’s friend Trump.

It doesn’t matter what Ukraine signs.

I mean not really, because Putin gets his services from other sources, but metaphorically, yes.
NEVER TRUST A MOBSTER – above all if it’s the #mobster-in-chief

For the same excuses that wont be lies in Zelinsky's claims

Okay!
Every Democrat Congress person should be asking this question everyday.

I already told you he would do that and do not make a deal with the devil
Trump is an agent of Putin and should be charged accordingly.
He has no intention of supporting Ukraine. Why do we keep wasting time thinking otherwise.
Europe and the rest of the world need to realize US = Russia = rUsSiA!
Fuck Trump!
The only place that your daughter can pound on the door for help & is received with:
"Sure, c'mon in."
Right after they insist on 'copping a feel.'
Trump has been ripping off contractors all his life. Now he's moved to ripping off whole countries.
Anyone?
No?
Me neither.
