“He’s going to have big problems”: Trump said that Zelensky wants to back out of the subsoil deal

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wants to withdraw from the mineral resources deal. The head of the White House also added that Ukraine will never become a member of NATO.

Trump made this statement in a comment to journalists.

“And by the way, I think Zelensky is now trying to back out of the rare earth metals deal. If he does that… Right now he’s saying, ‘Well, you know, I want to review the terms.’ He wants to become a member of NATO. But he never should be. He knows that. So if he wants to revise the deal, he’s in big trouble,” said the American president.

Earlier, the Ukrainian president had criticized the new rare earth deal proposal put forward by the U.S.

The day before, Bloomberg reported that Kyiv would seek additional investment from Washington as part of the mineral resources agreement.
