President Trump expressed his optimism about achieving a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, claiming the difficult part lies in striking the deal, while implementing security measures is simpler. Ahead of a meeting with British Prime Minister Starmer, he mentioned that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy will visit Washington to finalize a critical minerals agreement, which he referred to as a security backstop. Both Starmer and Macron met with Trump to encourage continued U.S. support for Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of a sustainable peace deal.
President Trump expressed confidence Thursday in reaching a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, while downplaying the need for U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine.
I have confidence that if we make a deal, it's going to hold, Trump told reporters in a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
We've talked and we will talk about how we work with yourself, Mr. President, to ensure that this deal is something which is not violated, because it's very important that if there is a deal, we keep it.
Macron commended Trump for agreeing to work with Zelenskyy on a rare minerals agreement that would provide more security guarantees.
