World leaders are standing up to Donald Trump and making a powerful statement. Donald Trump looking weaker than ever. Earlier this week, you had Ukraine meet with European world leaders in a coalition of the willing meeting called by French President Emmanuel Macron. in France arising out of that meeting. Solidarity between Ukraine and European leaders, as well as Canada, Australia and elsewhere.
Here's what the Kyiv Independent is reporting. Ukraine won't sign a minerals deal with the US if it threatens EU membership, Zelensky says. Zelensky knows he has real, true, reliable friends. in Europe, Canada, Australia, and not in the United States. Ukraine will not sign a mineral deal with the U.S. if it threatens its ascension to the European Union, Zelensky said earlier this week.
Zelensky's remarks came a day after details of a new alleged draft mineral agreement between Kyiv and Washington emerged. The Financial Times were the first to report on March 27 that the latest version of the agreement proposed by the U.S. includes terms that would grant Washington unprecedented control over Ukraine's natural resources through a joint investment fund.
One of the things we've always been saying here at the Midas Touch Network, Donald Trump's view of a deal with Putin was Donald Trump and Putin carving up Ukraine. Donald Trump wanted a sovereign wealth fund. He wants to steal Ukraine's rare earth minerals and then give the rest of Ukraine to Putin. Vladimir Putin, in my opinion, that's what's going on.
As Jay and Keeve writes, Putin basically had Trump design the new mineral deal so that it keeps Ukraine in debt, broke and out of the EU while the U.S. offers no assistance. Well, Europe was not letting that happen. whether it was French President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the new Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, or others.
A coalition of the willing uniting and saying, we've got your back, Ukraine. Zelensky posted the following this week. During the leaders meeting in France on support for Ukraine, I emphasize that the war is still ongoing and it's only happening because of Russia, whose position is simple. Keep the war going, keep attacking and delay diplomacy. Zelensky is right.
Ukraine has agreed to an unconditional full ceasefire. Putin has not. In fact, I'll show you in a little bit what Putin is saying. Putin wants to ramp up his attacks on Ukraine, especially targeting civilians. I'm going to show you Putin saying it in his own words. Donald Trump clearly unable to have any positive impact on negotiations.
In fact, making matters much worse and basically just amplifying what Putin wants to say. But let me share with you what came out of this powerful meeting between the Coalition of the Willing in Europe and Zelensky. Here is French President Emmanuel Macron from this meeting. Let's play it.
I want to be very clear this evening. Russia cannot have a say on the support we provide. and will provide to Ukraine, nor can it dictate the terms of this lasting peace because it is a matter of Ukraine's sovereignty and the security of all Europeans. Mr. President, dear Volodymyr, receiving you this evening is once again a privilege for us.
