Trump official says Zelenskyy will sign US minerals deal ‘in the very short term’
National security adviser Mike Waltz tells CPAC agreement is expected imminently as part of ceasefire negotiations

I'm still puzzled as to why Trump expects Ukraine to hand over more value in minerals than the US have provided in aid / weapons.

“More” I could somewhat understand…but nearly triple?!!!Soon apparently.

At least the US have the incentive to stop Russia taking more ground if it is signed.Soon apparently.

Think Zalensky should sign it and after the war say the contract is worthless as you said I am not legitimate
Yes, i don't know the details...but on many weapons that was absolutely correct.

Yeah that sounds like BS. "“Here’s the bottom line: President Zelenskyy is going to sign that deal, and you will see that in the very short term,” Waltz said during remarks at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC)."
Waltz is just talking shit, it's not actually going to happen.
And why Ukraine would agree to such a preposterous deal? There's also the question of why Trump thinks Zelenskyy has the authority to give away the country's resources when Trump claims Zelenskyy is an illegitimate president.
The US aren't about to go from wanting trillions of dollars of resources to accepting a few hundred billion, and Zelenskyy can't just give the country to one dictator in order to prevent another dictator taking it.
It's not nearly triple - $500 billion was what Trump claimed Zelenskyy agreed to off the bat, but then Trump said he wanted half
This is how the US exerts pressure...Waltz tells the world, including Russia and maga (I'll bracket them together), that Zelenskiy is going to sign it....Soon apparently.

Which is why we must give Ukraine Russians 300 billion now so he can tell the orange one to feck off (but more politely).

Right, so it’s far more than triple what the US has given in aid. Extortion, pure and simple. Mafia tactics from a mafia man.
Odd that this all seems to be about the minerals as far as the US is concerned one of which is Lithium, an integral part of electric car batteries! I wonder who might actually be driving this deal?
Yes. Something like $7.5 trillion. For what? It's mad.
Now I understand the daft idea that Trump could put out an outrageous deal, and then meet halfway, but that's not what's happening here. Trump has sided with Putin, against it's closest allies in the UK, Canada, and EU. Please someone explain to me how Trump isn't working for Putin?

Because trump wants to be the American Putin - he absolutely envies the kleptocracy that Russia has become

I have no idea about such matters but couldn't Zelenskyy "sell" it in parts to various countries then the fat orange water sports enthusiast would have to make lengthy time consuming deals with those other countries.
Somehow they would still be Ukraine's but they would be in everyone else's safe keeping for say 5 years?
As a minimum, just to fukc Trump about at least.

Look what happened to Kennedy when he did.
Good spot.
The sooner those videos of ‘Russian women of night’ defecating on Trumps face are released, the better. I’m speculating about the content but I’m guessing that Trump is into the same shit as Hitler.
But he can't sign something giving away half the country's resources:
Or alternative, agree to letting the US have them once Russia is out, and then cancel the deal, given that it was a defunct contract based on extortion. Trump wouldn't like it, but he won't be president in 4 years time.
