"No, I won't go," he said when asked by reporters.
For Vladimir Putin, May 9 is the most important day of the year. It is “Victory Day” in the “Great Patriotic War,” after the signing of the German surrender pact on the night of May 8, 1945, in Moscow it was after midnight, on May 9. The Soviet government declared victory in the early hours of May 9, after the signing ceremony in Berlin.
Trump was also asked about a potential minerals deal between Washington and Kiev, which was presented to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant in early February. The deal would give the US 50% of all revenue generated from Ukraine's minerals and rare earth natural resources in exchange for military support provided by Washington.
"I think we're very close, yes." I think they love it. They feel good about it. And it's important, it's a big deal, but they love it and it keeps us in this place and they're very happy about it," Trump said.
Since 2022, the US has provided Ukraine with weapons worth about $67 billion, or 64 billion euros. “But we get our money back. This should have been signed a long time ago before we went in. It should have been signed by Biden. “But Biden didn’t know much about what he was doing,” Trump added.
