Trump confirms that he will sign with Zelensky this Friday at the White House the agreement on rare earths

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has confirmed on Wednesday the visit on Friday of his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodimir Zelenski, to the White House, where it is expected that they rubbrique an agreement on the rare earths and the reconstruction plans of Ukraine once the conflict ends.

“We are going very well with Russia and Ukraine. President Zelenski will come on Friday. He is already confirmed and we will sign an agreement,” Trump has advanced during the first official meeting of his cabinet in this second term

“We have been able to reach an agreement by which we are going to recover our money and we will obtain a lot of money in the future, and I think that is appropriate,” said US President, who thanked for this agreement to the Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besent, and that of Commerce, Howard Lutnick.

Trump has reproached the previous administration of Joe Biden the Dispendium during these three years and has indicated that his management will focus on recovering that financing, while he has advanced that he will not give more money to Ukraine.

Since Trump returned to the White House has insisted that the United States has to take control of the rare earths of Ukraine, a series of reserves with some of the key minerals for the new technology industry.

According to the Ukrainian government, the agreement establishes the creation of a joint fund in which Ukraine will contribute 50 percent of the income derived from the exploitation of these resources in exchange for security guarantees for which the United States will not be commissioned, Trump himself said on Wednesday.

“I will not give security guarantees beyond what can be expected. We will make Europe take care of it,” because “is the neighbor next door,” Trump said, for whom the presence of US investment in these mineral reserves “is a spice of automatic security.”

“No one will be bothering when we are there,” he said.

“We are going to make sure everything goes well, we are going to make a great alliance with Ukraine in terms of rare earths. We need rare earths. They have excellent rare earths,” he said.

Future negotiations

The Chief of the White House has also raised for the first time the possibility that he cannot end the Ukraine War, as he has been ensuring since he could do it even in 24 hours, although he has reiterated that the conflict had continued if he had not won the elections.

“You have a lot of confidence in us because they assume that there will be peace” but “it is possible that it does not work. There is that possibility, but I hope it works for the good of humanity,” he said surrounded by his team.

He has also reiterated again that the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, is obliged to make concessions in possible peace negotiations. “You will have to do it,” Trump said, who has ruled out that among these assignments is the entrance of Ukraine into NATO.

“I can say that they can forget NATO,” he has settled.

Good relations with China

President Trump has also had the opportunity to talk about the future relationship of his administration with China, whom he has placed from the first moment as his main competitor on the international board.

However, this Wednesday before the media has adopted a seemingly more conciliatory position by highlighting the “great relationship” he maintains with the Chinese president, Xi Jinping. “We will do things with China, the relationship we will have with China will be very good,” he said.

“I see many things that say that we do not want China in this country, that is not right,” said Trump, who has issued not to position themselves when they have asked him if his government is committed to Taiwan’s defense. “I don’t comment at anything because I never want to put myself in that position,” he said.
