White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Saturday the president is confident in his ability to strike a deal with Russia to end the conflict in Ukraine, suggesting an end to the three-year-long war could come as early as this week.
The comments come as President Trump suggested Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “has no cards” and should sit out conversations with international leaders involving peace negotiations going forward.
Leavitt mentioned that National Security Advisor Matt Waltz would be working “around the clock” this weekend on a deal and shared that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been involved in discussions surrounding a proposed deal with the Ukrainians to harness raw minerals.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio proclaimed the venture would yield $200 million in funds and add a “vested” security interest in Ukraine pending legislative approval. The State Department said the U.S. has provided $65.9 billion in military assistance to Ukraine since the start of the war.

If Ukraine doesn’t have a say, then how is it supposed to end the war?
Is he going to threaten to send troops in Support of Russia now?
Didn’t they vote for the “anti war” president?
Besides minerals though, it would be smart if Ukraine suggested sending grain and other food exports to the US in exchange for aide.
If trump were smart he’d take that deal to help lower grocery prices.

Damn. They really pulled off a great deal for the US! In exchange for taking advantage of Ukraine we can now fund **two more** Kristi Noem performative ad campaigns on Fox News!

Wake up babe, new infrastructure week just dropped
Trump nukes Kyiv then proceeds to deepthroat Putin on live television. NYT calls it innovative and outside-the-box diplomacy with bold concepts. arrr con declares him a genius 28d chess player who is just trolling the libs. Egg prices increase by $1.50. And as usual he faces no consequences for his actions and the median voter doesn’t really give a shit.

Oh fuck off. No one should ever be sidelined in negotiations **when their own country is literally the one being invaded**.
Either you give Zelensky a seat at the table or your peace deal is a load of malarkey.
Sounds like it’s gonna take more like Two Weeks^(TM)
On the long disgusting list of things the US has done to other countries, joining with Russia in the rape of Ukraine has to be near the top.
