President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, during a closed-door meeting on Wednesday, rejected an offer by the Trump administration to relinquish half of the country’s mineral resources in exchange for U.S. support, according to five people briefed on the proposal or with direct knowledge of the talks.
After this, what is Trump negotiating about? According to previous statements US is now out and has zero cards to play in this shitshow and Trump will look weak if he now backs down on his threats.
