Trump, a new change to Putin
US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he believes that his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin will do his part of understanding, after expressing his frustration a day ago that prevents a fire termination between Moscow and Kiev, AFP reports.
Trying to fulfill his own campaign promises, Donald Trump exerts pressure for a quick closing of the war in Ukraine, but the negotiations carried out by Washington have not registered a concrete result.
The US president declared Sunday ‘very upset’ and ‘angry’ on his Russian counterpart, reluctant to engage in a fire termination agreement, and threatened to impose new taxes against Russian oil, according to an interview with the NBC television station.
‘I think it will rise to the height of what he told me. And I think he will now fulfill his part of understanding. And Zelenski is also, I hope it will be at the height of his task, Donald Trump said in front of the Journalists accredited to the White House.
As for Russian oil, Donald Trump said he does not want to impose additional customs taxes. « But, I think I would do something if I thought (he) doesn’t do the right thing, » he added, referring to little.
The Russian president evoked the idea of establishing a ‘temporary transition administration in Ukraine on Friday, possibly under the aegis of the UN, for organizing’ democratic ‘presidential elections in this country and only then negotiating a peace agreement with the new authorities.
In the subsequent statements on Sunday, Donald Trump has moderated his tone to Vladimir Putin, to attack Volodimir Zelenski, which he accuses to turn the back of the rare minerals that the United States wants to exploit in Ukraine.
Trump said on Monday that Zelenski is trying to get a review of the Terms of the US agreement on the exploitation of rare ores in Ukraine. Kiev would like to change the signing of the document for its accession to the North Atlantic Alliance, however, the membership of Ukraine in NATO has never been discussed in negotiations, said the US president, quoted by the UNII news agency.
According to the Ukrainian average, Zelenski would have been pronounced for a change in this agreement, because in its current version it affects the future accession of Ukraine to the European Union. Donald Trump may have been confused with NATO, writes Unian.
