Clash in Front of the World During Trump – Zelenski Meeting. Ukrainian Leader Warned About Playing with World War Three. No Peace Agreement in Ukraine – Video Update
Beyond the tension between Donald Trump and Zelenski or between the U.S. and Ukraine, there’s widespread curiosity about what this mineral agreement signifies and why Trump is committed to it.
Officially, the U.S. has supported Ukraine with approximately $100-150 billion in grants under the Biden administration.
However, Trump claimed that the U.S. actually allocated $350 billion, without substantiating this figure, prompting demands for reimbursement. Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer contested this in real-time, yet Trump persisted with his narrative.
Zelenski’s bold refutation likely sparked Trump’s hostility, known to be sensitive according to insiders. Following rigorous negotiations, it appears Ukrainians conceded, agreeing to sign a document initially declined by Zelenski.
Prior to the meeting, U.S. President Donald Trump denied calling Zelenski a “dictator.” Asked to comment on the situation, Trump replied, “Did I say that? I don’t believe I did.”
Reports from France indicate that Trump was initially reluctant to meet Zelenski but was persuaded to do so diplomatically by his “friend,” French President Emmanuel Macron.
Message Sent by Volodimir Zelenski
After the tense discussions in the Oval Office, Volodimir Zelenski addressed a message on his X page, expressing gratitude towards the United States while emphasizing efforts for a “just and lasting peace.”
“Thank you, America, for your support and this visit. Gratitude to the U.S. President, Congress, and the American people. Ukraine requires a just and lasting peace, and we’re actively working towards achieving it,” Zelenski wrote.
Volodimir Zelenski Exits the Oval Office. Trump States: “He Can Return When Ready for Peace”
Zelenski has left the White House, with the meeting’s conclusion leading to the cancellation of the scheduled press conference. Meanwhile, Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, stating he expects Zelenski to return when ready to discuss peace.
“We had a very significant meeting today at the White House. Much was learned that couldn’t have been comprehended without such a pressurized conversation. It’s incredible what emotions can reveal.
I’ve concluded that President Zelenski isn’t ready for Peace involving America’s stance as he perceives our involvement as a significant negotiation advantage.
I seek no advantage, just PEACE. His presence in our prized Oval Office reflected a lack of respect for the United States. He can return when ready for Peace,” Trump posted.
Heated Talks Among Volodimir Zelenski, Donald Trump, and JD Vance
President Donald Trump warned Volodimir Zelenski of the impending risk of a Third World War, suggesting that Ukraine would be in a better negotiating position only after signing an agreement.
“The issue is that I’ve empowered you to appear tough, but I doubt you’d be tough without the United States. Your people are indeed brave, yet without an agreement, either we step back and you’ll have to fight, which might not end well,” Trump cautioned. “But you don’t hold the winning cards,” he alerted Zelenski.
Vice President JD Vance criticized Zelenski for what he described as ingratitude for previous aid, as Trump and Vance accused the Ukrainian leader of “playing with a Third World War.”
“Have you thanked us even once?” Vance questioned Zelenski. Further, he accused him of making “disrespectful” remarks during their public disagreement.
“I find it disrespectful to come to the Oval Office and engage in disputes before the American press over this,” Vance noted.
Marco Rubio Advises Volodimir Zelenski to Seal the Pact
In explicit terms, American demands for “$500 billion” worth of resources were withdrawn. However, they will engage in a 50/50 partnership to exploit Ukraine’s rare resources. Ukrainians stand to benefit from infrastructure investments and job creation.
The only objection raised by Kiev, overlooked by the U.S., involved a lack of security assurances. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, equivalent to a foreign minister, advised Ukrainians to focus on the positives: the agreement itself serves as a security guarantee.
Thus, associating Ukrainian territory with prime American interests deters Russian infringement. This assumption rests on Russia’s integrity as a partner, echoing their pre-invasion statement, “We won’t attack or invade Ukraine, merely conducting maneuvers on our land,” prior to the February 2022 incursion.
