President Donald Trump said Volodymyr Zelenskiy will eventually make a natural-resources deal with the US, while accusing the Ukrainian president of “taking candy from a baby” in maximizing US military aid during the Biden years.
Trump also repeated his assertion in an interview on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures ’that Zelenskiy was ungrateful in their acrimonious White House meeting on Feb. 28, which stymied the resources agreement and Trump’s cease-fire diplomacy. After intense US pressure on Zelenskiy to stop fighting, Ukrainian and US officials are meeting in Saudi Arabia this week to resume discussions.
