In a surprising statement, former U.S. President Donald Trump hinted that Ukraine might eventually become part of Russia. Speaking to Fox News, Trump adopted an ambiguous stance on the ongoing conflict, stating, “They may be Russian someday, or they may not be Russian someday.” This comes as his vice president, JD Vance, prepares to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy later this week.
Trump, who previously claimed he could end the war in 24 hours, also emphasized the U.S. seeking a significant return on investment if involved in brokering a deal. He highlighted Ukraine’s rare earth minerals, valued at $500 billion, as a potential payoff for American involvement.
Additionally, Trump confirmed that Keith Kellogg, a special envoy, will soon be sent to Ukraine to draft a peace proposal. The statement has sparked debate, raising questions about the future of U.S.-Ukraine relations and the geopolitical implications of such a stance.
Stay tuned for updates as Vance’s meeting with Zelenskyy approaches and Kellogg’s peace proposal takes shape.
