Good news for American taxpayers! Ukraine claims they're ready to sign the minerals deal - now /news/ can revert back to pretending the minerals deal, that never would have existed without Trump, is immoral instead of claiming we lost a good opportunity because of a diplomatic blunder!


A couple of days after leaving the White House without an agreement, the Ukrainian president told reporters that his country is ready to sign a minerals deal with the US.

Ukraine is ready to sign the minerals deal with Washington, despite the heated argument between him and his US counterpart on Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told reporters late Sunday.

Mere days after leaving the White House without signing the deal with US President Donald Trump, Zelenskyy said, "I just want the Ukrainian position to be heard. We want our partners to remember who the aggressor is in this war."

The meeting turned into a terse exchange of words live on TV, with Trump concluding the raw minerals deal — which brought Zelenskyy to the White House to begin with — was off.

"I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform Friday.

"I don’t want advantage, I want peace. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for peace," he announced.

US access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals was first presented to Zelenskyy by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent earlier in February.

Washington is asking for a 50% cut of all revenues generated from Ukraine's mineral and natural resources in what US officials have said is payment for previous military support.
