‼️ Ukrainians must sit down at negotiating table, start talks with President Trump – Vice President Vance
U.S. President Donald Trump is still committed to a mineral extraction agreement with Ukraine, but Ukrainians must be ready to sit down at the negotiating table, U.S. Vice President J. D. Vance said.
Vance said, speaking to reporters on Tuesday, that the president is still committed to the minerals deal. He mentioned that they had heard some positive things, but not yet, of course, a signature from their friends in Ukraine. He added that the minerals deal is a really important part of the president's policy. He explained that, number one, the American people need to be repaid for the incredible financial investments that had been made in the country. He pointed out that a lot of the aid sent by the Europeans had come in the form of money being given back to them, and that it was really ridiculous and frankly an insult to the American people that the Europeans were getting a better deal than the American people. He concluded by saying that the president is just trying to make sure the American people got a fair deal while also ensuring that they had access to some of the minerals and resources that are very important to the economy of the future.
