Trump: Hopefully there will be peace in Ukraine soon
“The negotiations are going well,” the US president said at a joint News conference with the British Prime Minister.
According to RCO News Agency, US President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Kerry Starmer responded to reporters at a joint news conference after meeting at the White House.
“Starmer is a stubborn but special negotiator,” Trump said during the meeting. “The US and the United Kingdom have special relationships that have remained special for centuries, and we want to maintain it like that.”
“Traveling to England will be proud of our country and I accept this invitation,” he added. Today we talked about ending the bloody war in Ukraine. If I were president, this war would not have happened. “More than a million Ukrainian and Russian have been killed and many areas have been destroyed.”
“To end this war, I had very successful contacts with Putin and Zelnsky,” Trump said. We will finish this war. “Either the Ukrainian war will end soon, or will never end.”
“Tomorrow, Zelksky will travel to the US and we will sign a historic agreement by which the United States will be Ukraine’s partner in valuable mineral resources, oil and gas,” he said. This agreement will benefit Ukraine. “We will dig in Ukraine.”
“Europe’s aid to Ukraine is a loan and Europe will return, but we did not have such a condition in the Biden government, and there was no conditions for the return of the US money,” Trump said. “With this agreement, the Ukrainian capital will return and will help to secure Ukraine.”
“With the help of Ukraine, our weapons reserves have declined and we need to increase it,” he said. The valuable resource agreement with Ukraine will help the US defense industry. “In the first month of our government, more progress has been made for peace.”
“To have peace, we must negotiate with all parties,” Trump said. The next step is to reach a quick and fast ceasefire. Thousands of Ukrainian and Russian soldiers are killed every week. We want this bloody war to end. “
“Such an agreement will prevent a similar war on European and world soil,” he said. The Ukrainian crisis shows why Britain and other NATO members need to allocate more resources to their industries. “It is sad that we need to increase our weapons ability, but it is reality.”
“For Britain and other NATO partners, large investment in defense capabilities will in many cases be suitable for 2 or 5 percent of GDP,” Trump said.
The US president also said that we will soon sign “extraordinary” trade agreements with Britain.
Starmer also appreciated Trump: “This meeting was very constructive. We are happy to know that a friend of England is in the White House. “
“No country has tried more for peace than the US or Britain,” he said. The brutal war of Ukraine must end. “You (Trump) have created a historic opportunity to achieve peace in Ukraine, but the agreement must be done properly.”
“The aggressor should not receive a reward, otherwise countries such as Iran will be more courageous,” the British prime minister added in an anti -Iranian statement. History must be in favor of the victim, not an aggressor. We are looking for a fair agreement. “
“We have to reach an agreement to allow Ukraine to strengthen itself against Putin,” he said. Britain is ready to send troops to Ukraine. We are ready to work with our partners to achieve peace. “Britain is ready to put the troops on the ground and aircraft in the air to support an agreement with our allies, as this is the only way that peace is.”
“Europe has to do more,” Starmer said. This year we will help Ukraine more. Despite our differences, we share one thing and that is victory. “If we don’t win, it doesn’t make sense.”
“When the US and Britain work together, they will win,” he said. In collaboration with each other, we will help each other’s economy to create new jobs. Our business relationship is fair and our relationships in all areas are intertwined. “
“Today we decided to go further and start working on a new economic deal with advanced technology at its core,” the British prime minister added. Artificial intelligence can cure cancer. “As in the past, we now have the opportunity to change the technology of the 5th century.”
Responding to a question about the impact of tariffs on the US economy, Trump said: “The tariffs will make our country rich. Many countries have abused the United States. I will use tariffs to balance. Tariffs will not lead to inflation. “We will bring all industries, including drug products, chips and automotives, to the United States.”
America supports Article 5 of NATO
In response to a question about his support for Article 5 NATO, he added: “I support it, but it will not be necessary to use it. We will have sustainable peace. “I hope this agreement will be implemented soon, or we will never have peace.”
The US president claimed: “I am calling for peace in Ukraine for three reasons, one of which is to prevent the killing of more soldiers in a meaningless war. The second reason is that I do not want to cost the Ukrainian rebuilding dollars. “
Responding to a question about expert estimates about the decades of excavation and extraction of valuable mines in Ukraine, Trump said: “We cannot estimate the exact time before drilling. But we hope to return our capital. “This economic cooperation will also be good for Ukraine.”
Responding to a question about his idea of the presence of British soldiers in Ukraine without US security, Starmer said: “Britain will play a role in ensuring Ukraine’s security. In collaboration with other European countries, we will support the sustainability of possible peace in Ukraine. America will always support Britain. “We also talked about the conditions of this agreement today.”
Responding to a question about the dictator of Ukrainian President Walodimir Zelnski and the possibility of apologizing to him, he said: “I will have a good meeting with Zelnski tomorrow. I respect him a lot. “We gave him a lot of equipment, but they have fought bravely.”
“The Middle East is a difficult region,” the US president said of the possibility of implementing the second ceasefire in Gaza. We will come up with good solutions for Gaza. The first stage is almost finished. “Many prisoners are in difficult conditions, but we have had some good conversations about Gaza.”
“In the last four weeks, we have had a positive impact in the Middle East,” he said. “We had a great talk and the results will soon be clear.”
“We are in contact with our partners in NATO and other countries, because more European countries are critical to ensure European security,” Starmer said in response to a question about European cooperation to ensure Ukraine’s security.
“We are ready to work with Ukraine,” the US president also said in response to a question about the possibility of intelligence support to Ukraine. But we need peace before any agreement. In the previous government, there was no view of peace. Russia is no longer seeking to fully seize Ukraine. I am not interested in talking about the next stages before reaching peace. I believe we will reach an agreement. “
“I have seen a lot of images of captives,” Starmer also responded to a question about Trump’s plan for forced Palestinians. But 2 images are stabilized in my mind. One is the image of the freedom of the English captive, the other being the presence of millions of Palestinians in Gaza. We need to make sure the ceasefire continues in Gaza. “We have to support the Palestinians in order to make their lives.”
“The country’s solution is the only way to achieve peace in the region,” he said.
Responding to the last question of the news conference, Trump said: “He (Starmer) tried hard to not impose a tariff on England. He tried. “There is a great chance of these two large and friendly countries, I think we can end a real business deal in which tariffs are not necessary.”
“We will reach a good agreement between the two countries,” he said.
“My view of Putin is clear,” said Starmer in response to a question about the character of the Russian president. “We have to ensure the sustainability of peace and Putin knows that it cannot violate this agreement.”
