WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump has argued that Kiev’s mineral agreement with Kiev is the real guarantee of its security against Russia.

Storm, who was meeting with Trump at the White House for the first time on Thursday when the US leader started his second term, turned his attention, saying that peace in Ukraine was possible only because of Trump.

At the Oval Office, the star gave a letter of invitation from King Charles for a state visit. Trump accepted. A date has not been fixed.

But the basic differences between the allies remained on the table for a private conversation. These include translatric friction on US -Russian talks, which aims to end the Ukraine war.

Prior to this meeting, the star argued that without a guarantee of US security in Ukraine, there could not be long-term peace-an argument Trump all dismissed.

“We are a back stop because we will be there, we will work,” said Trump. “We’re going to get a lot of people there.”

French President Emmanuel Macron is the latest European leader to meet Storm Trump after coming to the White House for a friendly confrontation on Monday, despite strong differences with Ukraine and the United States about the Russian war.

“It is moving forward very fast,” Trump said about ceasefire diplomacy. ” “It will either be enough or it will not be at all.”

At a joint press conference with Trump, the star said, “We have to fix it.” “It cannot be peace that reveals the aggressor.”

Surprising allies

Trump, who came to power on January 20, has come near Putin to surprise traditional US allies in Europe, calling Ukrainian President Wolodimier Zelannsky a “dictator”, and demanded a payment for US financial support for Kiev. On Thursday, Trump removed himself from the dictator’s comments, saying he would join the Ukrainian leader.

Zillsky is expected to sign a deal with Trump on Rare Earth Minerals in Washington on Friday, the Ukrainian leader said, adding that US aid will be further seized. Trump has introduced the deal as a way to compensate for US money that has been spent to help Ukraine. There is no specific security guarantee for Ukraine.

The star has indicated that the UK will increase defense spending and are expected to try to convince the US president that if peace talks with Russia are successful, Europe will guarantee support and security.

A senior Trump administration official told reporters that he was happy with the star’s promises to increase defense spending.

Putin on Thursday warned the “Western elite” against trying to sabotage a possible relationship between Russia and the United States, saying Moscow would use its diplomats and intelligence services to thwart such efforts. These remarks were a clear reference to the European Union and the UK.

Since the beginning of his second term, Trump has dispersed foreign policy and domestic policy principles, and has shaken the allies by advocating US ownership on the Gaza Strip and promising similar trade taxes on American friends and enemies.

Trump said the United States would reach a trade deal with the UK, “very soon” one of his colleagues told reporters that he was “trying to be based on economic and equal trade with the UK.”

At the Oval Office, Trump complained about trade relations with the European Union, which was left by the UK in 2020.

“Obviously, obviously, it’s fair and balanced,” the star intervened, and in fact you got a bit of surplus so we are in a different position. “According to US government data, the United States has a trade surplus in goods with the UK.

Meanwhile, US Vice President JD Venus, who also attended the meeting, said the leaders would discuss that they had discussed it as a “violation of free speech” in the UK, which affected US technology companies.

The star replied, “We have made a very long speech in the UK for a long time.

Friendly relationship

Trump’s relations with the Storm were on September at a friendly start with a two -hour dinner in New York at the Trump Tower. The British leader’s team said the atmosphere was hot with the “gracious host”.

Like Macron, the star will also argue that with Russia, without the participation of Ukraine or European countries, a peace deal could lead to further instability in Europe, which would not be good for the United States.

The star has said it is open to British soldiers who provide security to Ukraine, but only with other European countries and “in place of the right situation”.

The US official said European countries are now concerned about high -level conflicts in Ukraine, while a ceasefire will give them more relief that their role is more about peace rather than preventing active conflict.

The US official said, “The kind of power depends on the political settlement that is designed to end the war.” “It is a part of trade that leaders are going to discuss today.”
