That's what I've always known that I could trust... a contract with Donald Trump. Hell, he still hasn't paid campaign venue debts. And any number of other broken agreements.

We're extorting a nation that is desperate for our help so they can survive. Absolutely disgusting.

Because we agreed to defend them if they gave up their nukes. They honored their end of the bargain. We need to honor ours without trying to extort protection money etc from them in exchange for more help. This is definitely dirty pool on Trump's part. We should all be ashamed of this.

- We need to honor ours
Someone with a lot of patience would have to first explain the concept of honor to the Republican President.

Laura,
It's in their best interest for America to have a financial stake in their future.
If we're there we aren't abandoning them. Instead, we're investing in their future.
Did agreeing to defend them mean we'll do it for perpetually for free and not be entitled to be compensated in some way?
This is a win/win solution being proposed.
Also, our remaining in Ukraine will reduce the likelihood of Putin invading again.

So you're advocating a Protection Racket. Got it.

When America told the Ukraine we'd protect them if they gave up their nuclear arsenal.
It was just a ploy.
Everyone knows not to believe American.
Suckers!

Zelenskyy should write a book... he could call it The Real Art of the Deal.
"How Zelenskyy lured Trump with Ukraine's minerals From Trump Tower to the Vatican: inside the tortuous deal making to link Ukraine's resources to US support"

GFY BillJohnson. We made the agreement. We should honor it free and clear. That's what we promised. Of course you believe in an extortion racket. How Christian of you BillJohnson.

I would ask where are the smart conservatives... but these days that's a contradiction in terms.
Trump could have had this same agreement a month ago, but he was still too worried what Daddy Vlad would think. Now, it appears the greed has gotten the better of him; there are no such things as humanitarian acts with Trump, it's all about the money.

Out of common courtesy I'm responding to you.
Just like Trump I can modify things as I go along.

It's to deflect attention away from Trump and his horrible actions in this case towards Ukraine. That's why.

"In addition to direct financial contributions, it may also provide new assistance " for example air defense systems for Ukraine," she said. Washington did not directly address that suggestion.
But but Trumpy had ALL the cards.
But sadly not so many minerals.
Oopsie.

Some of you are so myopic that you can't even understand basic logic. Trump said Ukraine has no cards. Trump just gave them a card. Ukraine is much better off for it. It helps both countries.
This strategy is what makes true allies. Liberals have no idea what that means based on how terribly they want to treat our closest allies so I'm not really surprised by the comments here. But it's still sad to see.

^ What's he talking about?
Liberals are not the ones putting tariffs on our closest allies.
Republicans are putting tariffs on our closest allies.
