Ukraine needs to tone it down and sign agreement on minerals – Waltz
Ukraine should refrain from criticizing the United States, which wants to secure a peace agreement, said Mike Waltz, Trump's National Security Advisor.
He said this on Fox News, Censor.NET reports.
"They need to tone it down, take a good look and sign this agreement (on minerals- Ed.)," he said.
At the same time, Waltz believes that the US disagreements with Ukraine can be resolved.
Agreement on minerals with the United States
As a reminder, Trump has said that he wants to sign a $500 million deal with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on access to rare earth resources and natural gas in Ukraine in exchange for security guarantees in any potential peace settlement.
President Zelenskyy said that the agreement with the US on minerals would be signed at the ministerial level when ready and subject to guarantees. Currently, this document is not ready to protect Ukraine's interests.
Later, Trump said that Ukraine had disrupted the rare earth metals agreement. The agreement was necessary so that the United States could recoup the money spent on supporting Ukraine.
