President Trump and Vice President JD Vance had a tense meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as they discussed a possible peace deal. Trump warned Zelenskyy that he was “gambling with World War III” during the negotiations. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of security guarantees in a mineral deal with Trump. The meeting came after a Russian drone attack on a Ukrainian apartment block and amid ongoing discussions about peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.
Trump suggested that a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine could happen “within weeks” and emphasized the need for Putin and Zelenskyy to come together to end the conflict. However, Zelenskyy said he was willing to step down in exchange for peace, highlighting the uncertain future that Ukraine faces in light of changing support from the US.
The discussions also included a potential agreement to exchange rare mineral rights for security guarantees, creating a dilemma for Ukraine. Trump’s proposal was met with criticism from Macron, who corrected him when he suggested Europe was offering Ukraine a loan. Despite the tensions and war of words between the leaders, the negotiations continued as the possibility of a peace deal lingered.
Overall, the meeting between Trump, Vance, and Zelenskyy highlighted the complex dynamics at play in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, with the need for security guarantees, mineral deals, and peace negotiations all overlapping in a delicate balance.
