Trump Says “I Think We Have a Deal with Russia” on Peace with Ukraine – “I Think we Have a Deal with Both. I Hope They Do it”
President Trump on Wednesday spoke to reporters in the Oval Office during an executive order signing and signaled hope that Russia is ready to end the war in Ukraine.
“I thought it might be easier to deal with Zelensky. So far, it’s been harder, but that’s okay, it’s all right,” he said.
It can be recalled that Zelensky sabotaged peace negotiations with President Trump in February by disrespecting him in the Oval Office and reneging on a pre-agreed-upon peace deal. Ukraine had previously approved Trump’s requested mineral rights deal with the US to compensate Americans for the hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money Joe Biden gave them over the last four years, but the agreement was not formalized during Zelensky’s visit to the White House nearly two months ago.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump slammed Zelensky in a call for peace just hours earlier in response to Zelensky’s demands for the territory of Crimea on Tuesday.
Zelensky declared on Tuesday that Ukraine will not recognize Russia’s occupation of Crimea, a statement that President Trump slammed as “very harmful to the Peace Negotiations with Russia in that Crimea was lost years ago under the auspices of President Barack Hussein Obama” on Wednesday morning.
