  1. If Trump did all his business dealings in the same manner as how he deals with his foreign friends and allies then I now understand how he bankrupted multiple businesses of his. I always wondered how the hell can you bankrupt a casino but I think I understand now.

  3. He should never sign such deals.

    The aid from any country to Ukraine should be with the idea that it will not be paid back, unless it is explicity a loan or something.

    What orange clown is doing is just madness.

  4. The USA is unstable and 2a needs to happen before any deal can be made with the USA in good faith.

  5. There is no such thing as a mineral deal. The rare earth global market is under 10 B$/y. Trump is asking for 500 B$, whereas Ukraine is assumed to have 5% of the world reserves. Furthermore, it’s not even for continuing military support, but to settle previous support that did not even reach half of that sum (without even considering that most of that was spent domestically).

    The so-called “mineral deal” is a taunt, not a real proposal.

  6. Good! Trump is trying to strong-arm him. Everyone needs to tell Trump to fuck the hell off.

  8. Good. The only language a bully understands is strength.

  9. Good. There is no reason to sign deal that is going to be not beneficial to Ukraine. What can Trump do? He can threaten withholding aid which he is already doing for the most part. He can pull Starlink out which will make Ukraine’s fight more difficult but not impossible.

    But he is good at going bankrupt more than once. 😛

  10. Good.

    They shouldn’t sign anything with Russia 2.0.
    They are no longer reliable, hence any deal has a great chance not to be respected.

    I smell pure malice with this deal, stealing in plain daylight with absolute no counterpart.

  11. Looking forward to Trump’s hysteria

    In Ukraine, the refusal to sign this treaty finds a positive and approving response from the majority of Ukrainians, even amid threats to disconnect Starlinks.

  12. And he should not as it’s extortion, running the global community is not the same as running a business.

  13. He must deal direct with Gouverneurs of blue states.

  15. The headline make it seems like ‘not yet anyways’ but i sincerely hope Zelenskyy looked at it and was like fk no and fk Trump

  16. One thing that is criminally under-discussed, is the fact that the US IS NOT DONATING CASH. They are giving old military equipment that would otherwise need to be disposed of.

    This is such an important point.

  17. I hope the rest of the world is realizing that the US can’t be trusted. Once again, we’re proving that we will not honor agreements we make. In this case, we succeeded in nuclear disarmament in Ukraine. They had assurances from US and Russia, they disarmed, Russia invaded, and we helped for a bit and are now blaming them for getting invaded and completely stopping military support…

  18. Good, because it’s not a deal.  It’s Trump trying to extract some win for himself before letting Putin walk in and take the whole country.

  19. good. instead strategically prolong the conversations with Trump until the EU can replace betraying US as a more reliable partner

  20. We are hamstringing our military, destroying our economy at breakneck speed, and severing all ties to the international community.

    You don’t want USA as an ally.

  21. There’s no deal. It’s just bullshit. It’s a story for Americans who will swallow whatever crap their king feeds them.

  22. There’s a threat to cut access to Starlink for Ukraine’s soldiers if Zelensky doesn’t sign the deal. If that happens then the USA is truly lost as a country.

  23. I thought the free world was willing to help Ukraine out because it was smarter than allowing Putin to just overtake Ukraine. That way it was a good investment so Russia didn’t grow more powerful and NATO wouldn’t have to address the Russian threat when Russia was stronger. Suddenly with trump it’s all about the money.

  24. If this is the logic the US use then France should demand 140 years of back rent for the Statue of Liberty.

  25. As an American all I can say is sorry. It’s a horrific betrayal and Europe will be on its own for the next few years but I do think Trump will be kicked out of office this go around. People are already not very happy here with him. Right now we will have to come to grips with the fact that we are comprised by a Russian agent.

  26. Nor he needs to be ever ready for that “deal”. It’s a bullshit deal, a scam.

  27. -Be Russia

    -Cant take over Ukrainian resources fully by force

    -Ask Trump to make the deal with Ukraine over their resources

    -Deal was made

    -US send some money off Ukrainian’s resources to Russia after they ‘Stopped Invasion’.

    Im so fucking sure this is literally the whole plan. That way they will ‘stop the war’ by making Ukraine give everything Russia wanted. And obviously no one gives any guarantees Russia wont start invasion again after regroup.

  29. Zelenskyy is a good person stuck in an impossible situation but in hindsight he should have sued for peace under Biden administration once Trump became the nominee and the counter offensive failed

  30. Nothing trump is doing is in good faith for either the USA or Ukraine. He is working with Russia and China to reshape the world so he can rule his portion for himself and his oligarchs.

  31. > Zelenskyy refuses to bow to the sham deal his nation was not party to the negotiation of.

    Fixed that for you.

  32. There is no deal. Trump has already projected that he will give russia everything

  33. America is now officially a Nazi country. And now are stealing minerals from other countries. Stupid fucking Americans

  34. Not so dear second fiddle to the president of the former leader of the free world… Piss off.

  35. Lol! Trump was literally out here hyping up that the deal would be signed in like a few hours.

  36. The only talks that should be happening is telling Putin when he is coming out of Ukraine. That’s it. There should be zero concessions for the Russians. Absolutely zero.

  37. Why should they sign any deal with the US, tell the cunts to fuck off.

  38. “Not ready to sign” is politican speak for “lol, get fucked”

  39. Don’t do the deal – Trump is a terrible negotiator! Hold out and the deal will get better – his ego makes him a bad deal maker. If it’s not part of the deal already, Trump will make US mining companies pay for all the infrastructure.

  41. He should negotiate and tell Trump he will give America 100 trillions of rare stones . The best stones the world has ever seen! Trump will take that deal once he hears that the stones are the best in the world.

  43. Any deal Trump offers is a scam. He’s a scammer. It’s what he has been doing his entire life. It’s time for Europe to massively increase its defense spending and send more weapons to Ukraine to replace what the US won’t send anymore.
