US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi may meet as early as next week. This will be their first meeting after the inauguration of the American leader. Trump said this during negotiations with the Prime Minister of Japan, Shigeru Ishiba. informs FoxNews.
“I will probably meet with President Zelensky next week and maybe talk with President Putin.”– said the US president.
Trump emphasized that he wants an end to Russia’s war against Ukraine, noting that this conflict might not have happened if he had held the office of president earlier.
He also noted that he plans to discuss with Zelensky the issue of the supply of rare earth metals to ensure the security of US spending. At the same time, Europe allocates less funds to support Ukraine than the USA, so America expects to receive “something in return”.
“From our point of view, we really want guarantees for all this money that we’re putting in,” – emphasized Trump.
