Trump’s Ukrainian peace plan in his speech to Congress, Trump was supposed to go into further detail about his plans for Russia and Ukraine, but he did not provide any additional information about how he intends to resolve the largest conflict in Europe since World War Two.
Trump claimed that Ukraine was prepared to sign a minerals agreement with the United States, which Washington claims is essential to ensuring that the United States continues to support Ukraine’s defense.
