Didn’t take him long to back down did it. Trump’s actions over the past two weeks have caused mayhem in markets. Him & JD Vance were rude & confrontational to Zelensky in their televised meeting too. Hopefully they can shake hands & get this minerals deal agreed & Ukraine gets the protection they require. I think the war will be over soon.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy was humiliated before the entire world. It started immediately he arrived with Trump mocking his appearance and a journalist also talk about his decision not to wear suit. Maybe Trump and Vance expected to meet a weak president who would accept all their views and proposals. But the Ukrainian president showed so much courage and I was pleased he acted that way.
After the European leaders gave him some reality check, he's now willing to sign a treaty with US but his conditions still are continuation of war.
What Trump is suggesting is a ceasefire and peace deal which would allow US companies to enter Ukraine and with US companies directly involved in Ukraine, Russia would not dare to attack it. Zelenskyy and Trump are still in different reality. The mineral deal might be signed but it won't come into effect anytime soon.

Will these US companies remain in Ukraine forever, or will they be present in all parts of Ukraine? All Zelensky needed was a security guarantee that would protect his country. The pausing of aid and support by the US had forced Ukraine to accept the exploitative option presented by Washington. Without US intelligence, Ukraine will suffer.
Note that Russia has 10 to 100 times the natural resources that Ukraine has. Putin is crying for people to come and work her lands. But Western countries don't want to come, because they want to take Russia over completely. Putin will never allow that.
