US President Donald Trump on Sunday (local time) addressed the intentions of Ukraine President Volodimir Zelansky, who had intentions about his aspirations for rare earth deal and NATO membership with the US.
Trump warned that Zelanceci might have to face “big problems”, if he tries to get out of the agreement, suggesting that the Zalensky deal was tied to Ukraine’s ambitions to re -organize the deal, which Trump had rejected the untouchability.
Talking to reporters, Trump said, “I think he wants to make a deal. And I think Zelanceci, by the way, I see that he is trying to get out of the rare earth deal. And if he does so, he has some problems. Big, big problems.”
“We made a deal on the rare earth, and now he is saying, okay, you know, I want to resume the deal. He wants to be a member of NATO. Well, he was never going to be a member of NATO. He understands that,” Trump expanded.
“So if he is looking at the deal to resume, he has had major problems,” he said, emphasizing the possible consequences of changing the current agreement.
According to CNN, the rare Earth deal is an agreement between the two countries where the US will exploit Ukraine’s rare mineral resources in exchange for USD 350 billion, military equipment and ‘right to fight “.
Asked if he was related to the Russian Vladimir Putin at his lowest point in the midst of the Russian-Ukraine War, Trump said he did not think so and that he has always “joined”.
“No, I don’t think so. I don’t think he is going to go back to his word. You are talking about Putin. I don’t think he is going to go back to his word. I have known him for a long time. We have always been together in spite of Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, despite Russia, Russia.”
Meanwhile, Trump issued a strict warning to the Russian President to give him two options: either to end the Ukraine war or cooperate with additional tariffs on Russian oil, CNN said.
During a telephone interview with NBC News, Trump said that he is “angry” with Putin’s actions and can put extra tariffs on Russian oil if Putin does not collaborate in the ongoing conversation to end his war in Ukraine.
“I was very angry – got angry – when Putin started joining Zelansky’s credibility, because it is not going to the right place, do you understand?” Trump said in an interview with “Meat the Press” host Christon Velkar.
“But new leadership means that you are not going to do a deal for a long time, right?” Trump said.
Trump further warned that failure in reaching a deal could result in significant results, including CNN according to CNN.
