Trump won't resume Ukraine military aid after signing minerals deal, NBC News reports

One day we will wake to his obituary :-)

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, citing an unnamed Trump administration official and another American official.

U.S. and Ukrainian delegations are planning to meet in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on March 11 to discuss the framework for a potential peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia.

Trump wants to see a change in President Volodymyr Zelensky's stance toward peace talks with Russia and a willingness to make concessions such as giving up occupied territories to Russia, the sources told NBC News.

The U.S. president also reportedly wants Zelensky to make some steps toward elections in Ukraine and possibly step down.

The news comes amid rising tensions between Ukraine and the U.S., as Trump escalates pressure on Zelensky to expedite a peace process.

The tensions culminated in a confrontation during a meeting in the White House Oval Office on Feb. 28 after Zelensky had flown to the U.S. to sign a minerals agreement with the U.S. After being insulted by Trump and his Vice President JD Vance, Zelensky returned to Ukraine without signing the deal.

Since that meeting, Washington has halted its military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.

Previously, Trump called Zelensky a "dictator," echoing Russian narratives about the democratically elected Ukrainian leader's legitimacy.

Elections are banned in Ukraine during martial law, which has been in force since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022.

Politico reported that Trump's team has been leading secret talks with former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko and another opposition leader, Yuliia Tymoshenko. The two opposition leaders reportedly tried to position themselves as more flexible partners for the U.S. than Zelensky.

Following the Oval Office clash, Zelensky's approval rating has risen to 68%, according to a poll by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology published on March 7.

Why would they sign a mineral deal with him then?
Felonious is so stupid.
 
Because they want the Ukraine's resources and want to screw them over at the same time.
No, I meant Ukraine? Why would Zelenskyy give away their minerals for no security agreement? Felonious is stupid yo think they’d give him mineral rights for nothing.
 
What is the White Lib plan to expel Russia from Crimea and other occupied territories that Obama and Biden gave to Pootie?

WW3?

:dunno:

I hope Ukraine does not sign that mineral deal without getting something in return?!! Trump seems to think Ukraine owes the U.S. for the military aid they received, the other allies are who are giving military aid to Ukraine are not asking for compensation?!! Ukraine will have rebuild a lot of their country after the war is over too?!! Trump is trying to shake down Ukraine?!!

Trump is transactional. He does nothing without getting something in return. That is why he hates USAID. He gets nothing in return for helping poor desperate people survive.

You're the stupid one. Anyone who laps up what NBC or Politico reports proves they are brainless idiots.

The only thing I can gather is that leftist morons like you either like looking stupid, or are too brainless to know they look stupid.

They are getting something in return you brainless dumbass. They're getting a peace deal and a lot of revenue.

Of course, in brainless dumbass land where you leftists wallow, never ending war is the ONLY solution.

Trump seems to think Ukraine owes the U.S. for the military aid they received, the other allies are who are giving military aid to Ukraine are not asking for compensation?!!

You dumb, empty headed twit. Europe is giving Ukraine LOANS dumbass. Unlike the US that gets NOTHING but an arrogant little punk that thinks he is entitled to US taxpayer money and brainless dipshits like you on welfare that don't care how much wealth we give up.

Ukraine will have rebuild a lot of their country after the war is over too?!!

I hope that you leftist morons and European morons will dig deep into your own pockets to pay for it.

Trump is trying to shake down Ukraine?!!

Wrong. But since when do brainless leftists who parrot moronic DNC memes get much of anything.

Trump is trying to save what is left of Ukraine and put an end to the destruction and killing. But what would a brainless leftist dumbass like you know about reality? :palm:

So, the Europeans are just carpet baggers then? After all, they didn't GIVE Ukraine shit, they gave them LOANS.

That is why he hates USAID.

No one hates USAID you lying, brainless asshat. We just hate the grift and money laundering Democrats engaged in using USAID.

He gets nothing in return for helping poor desperate people survive.

Trump has helped more poor individuals than all the leftists on the planet. The only thing gasbags like you give is a lot of hot air. :palm:
