Trump talks about Zelenskyy Visit, Ukraine-Russia Paz Tals and invites real

President Donald Trump He was asked several times on Thursday about the comments he made last week, when he called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “dictator”, although he often ignored the question or could not remember having made the statement.

Trump met with the United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the White House on Thursday, when the two leaders boarded the peace conversations between Ukraine and Russia.

The president told reporters that he has had “very successful” calls with Russian president Vladimir Putin, as well as with Zelenskyy, hoping to end war between Ukraine and Russia.

“I think we have progressed a lot, and I think it is moving quite fast,” Trump said. “(Friday), progress towards peace will continue when President Zelenskyy Visit the White House. It will be here tomorrow in the first part of the day, and we will sign a historical agreement that will make the United States an important partner in the development of Ukraine minerals and rare earths, oils and gases. “

Trump says that the deal with Ukraine for the access of the United States to its rare minerals is “quite close”

The president and Zelenskyy will meet at the White House around 11 a.m. on Friday, and Trump said the rare earth minerals will provide the basis for a sustainable future between the two countries.

With the visit of Zelenskyy approaching quickly, journalists asked Trump on Thursday if he had plans to apologize to the Ukrainian president for calling him dictator.

Earlier this month, Trump criticized Zelenskyy as a “dictator without elections” after the United States left Ukraine out of his initial initial peace Talk to Russia.

“A dictator without elections, Zelenskyy is better to move quickly or will not have a country,” Trump wrote in Truth Social at that time. “Meanwhile, we are successfully negotiating the end of the war with Russia, something that everyone admits only ‘Trump’ and the Trump administration, can do it. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to maintain the ‘salsa train’ in progress.”

When Trump greeted Starmer in the White House on Thursday, a journalist asked the two leaders about having common land, with Trump describing Zelenskyy as a dictator and a star that describes Putin as a dictator.

After avoiding the question, another journalist asked Trump if he still believed that Zelenskyy was a dictator.

“I said that?” Trump asked. “I can’t believe I said that. Next question.”

After the two leaders gathered at the Oval office, they faced reporters once again, and a journalist asked Trump if he would take the opportunity to apologize to Zelenskyy for calling him dictator while praising Putin, who is a dictator.

Instead of heading to Zelenskyy a dictator, Trump talked about the next meeting with the Ukrainian president, saying: “I think we will have a very good meeting tomorrow … we will get along.”

While Ukraine and Russia were a great theme during the Trump and Starmer meeting, so were the tariffs. A journalist asked Trump if Starmer had persuaded him so that he does not impose tariffs on the United Kingdom

Trump said Starmer tried to convince him not to impose rates.

“I think there is a very good possibility that, in the case of these two great friendly countries, I think we could end a true commercial agreement where the rates would not be necessary,” Trump said. “We’ll see.”

Although the United States and the United Kingdom began with a difficult relationship on colonial days, it has flourished in one that both leaders agree that it is special and will remain strong.

In fact, Trump received a letter from King Charles through Starmer, inviting the president and the first lady for a state visit.

“It was my privilege and honor to bring a letter with me today from His Majesty the King, not only sending his best wishes, but also inviting the president and the first lady to make a state visit to the United KingdomAn unprecedented second visit, “said Starmer, and pointed out that this has never happened before.” It is very incredible. It will be historical, and I am delighted to be able to return to his majesty the king and tell him that President Trump has accepted the invitation. “

Immediately after Starmer’s announcement, Trump thanked the prime minister and offered a compliment.

“What a beautiful accent,” said the president. “It would have been president 20 years ago if I had that accent.”
