During his address to Congress, President Trump revealed he’d been sent a conciliatory message from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky saying he is ready to come to the negotiating table and sign a deal to provide the U.S. access to Ukraine’s rare earth minerals and other resources. This comes just days after Trump and Vice President JD Vance berated Zelensky in the Oval Office and after Trump ordered the suspension of all U.S. military aid to Ukraine. On Tuesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed over $850 billion in new military spending, declaring, “We are in an era of rearmament.”
