The meeting of Putin and Trump depends on progress in negotiations in Ukraine
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the meeting of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin depends on the results of negotiations upon the end of the war in Ukraine. He noted that at the moment the exact date of the meeting is unknown.
“I don’t know when it will take place, but the meeting between President Putin and President Trump should take place. It should be substantial. We must know what this meeting will be about, what will be achieved on it, ”Rubio said in an interview with journalist Katherine Herridge, which she published on her page in X.
In addition, Rubio accused Zelensky of lies regarding the transaction on rare -earth metals. The US Secretary of State claims that the Ukrainian president said that Kyiv intends to conclude a deal, and “sees the meaning in it,” but it needs to be “conducted through the legislative process”.

“Two days later, I read that Zelensky said that he rejected the deal, saying:“ We will in no case do this. ” But at that meeting, everything was wrong, ”says Rubio.
In October last year, the proposal for the joint development of Ukrainian rare earth metals was voiced by Zelensky himself, Kommersant writes. Last week, the President of Ukraine rejected the deal that the United States proposed. The document assumed that Washington would receive 50% of the income from Kiev’s development of its land resources, as well as 50% of the licenses issued to third parties for these developments.
After that, according to Axios sources, Washington sent a “improved” version of the agreement to Kiev. The interlocutors of the portal claim that Zelensky advisers recommended that he agree to the proposal.
