Re: Trump Threatens Zelenski

The week's question

In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The reporting has been long on drama and short on specifics, but this is my impression...
(1) A while back Trump held meetings with Putin about Ukraine
(2) Ukraine and the Us hold meetings about trading mineral rights for military resources
(3) Trump calls Zelenski to the US to sign both deals

Zelenski mentions that Russia has violated all agreements to date. What guarantees can be provided that they will not violate this one.
Trump... I trust Putin will do it, I don't have any other guarantees
Zelenski... that's not good enough. We need some sort of enforcement mechanism to assure Putin meets his side of the bargain

Shouting match ensues.
Deal not signed.

Let me know if you have evidence this is accurate or if critical pieces are missing.
