The metal agreement causes the first dispute of Ukraine with Trump .. Will it be a response to the beautiful?
While US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz said that the United States deserves to return Gemayel from Ukraine in exchange for its support in the face of the Russian invasion, noting that President Voludimir Zellinski will be very wise if he agreed to the metal deal that was offered last week.
Specific security guarantees
This proposal was a major part of Zelinski’s talks with US Vice President JD Vans, which took place on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference on Friday, but it did not include any specific security guarantees in return, according to a current Ukrainian official and a former official familiar with the talks.
A senior White House official described Zelinski’s decision not to accept the proposal, at least at the present time, as short -sighted.
“I did not allow the ministers to sign the concerned agreement, because in my opinion it is not ready to protect our interests,” Zellinski told Associated Press on Saturday in Munich.
Huge mineral reserves
Ukraine has huge reserves of strategic minerals used in aviation, defense and nuclear energy industries.
The administration of US President Donald Trump has expressed its interest in reaching it to reduce dependence on China, but Zelinski stressed that any exploitation of these resources should be linked to security guarantees that protect Ukraine from any future Russian aggression.
“For me, it is very important to link some kind of security guarantees with the form of some forms of investments,” said Ukrainian President.
Investment partner for President Trump
During his appearance on Fox News, Waltz described the deal as a protection in itself, adding: “I don’t think there is a better security guarantee than being an investment partner of President Trump.”
He added: “The American people deserve to recover part of what they paid, and they deserve a kind of response to the beautiful for the billions that he invested in this war.”
He said that Zelinski would be very wise if this agreement is concluded with the United States.
