Trump's National Security Advisor: Zelensky to tone down and sign this deal!  - 1

Mike Walz, the US President's national security adviser, believes that Ukraine should sign the rare earth minerals deal proposed by Trump, he said in an interview given today to Fox News.

According to him, Ukraine should "tone down, look carefully at the situation and sign this deal".

He stressed that Ukraine's rejection of the deal is simply' considering everything the United States has done for Ukraine.

"We need to recover those costs, and we will do so in partnership with the Ukrainians on their natural resources and technology, oil and gas," he said.

''We believe that American taxpayers deserve to get back a large portion of their ''investment'',' commented Walz.

He also expressed dissatisfaction with the ''strange resistance'' and ''escalating rhetoric' by Kiev in connection with the US proposal to use Ukrainian rare earth minerals in exchange for US aid.

During the interview, he announced that the existing differences in the views of the two countries can be ''reconciled, since "the president loves the Ukrainian people very much".

According to President Trump's aide, the ''era of war'' is already over, but not everyone accepts it.

''Not everyone has understood that the era of endless brutal war, accompanied by death and destruction on both sides and costing hundreds of billions (of dollars) and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of lives, is over. President Trump is making it clear that he intends to end this war and that all sides should support this“.
