president Trump's not the kind of person that's going to sit there and take that he's very transparent he's going to tell you exactly how he feels and he sent a message that he's not going to get gamed here here is our I would say spectacular new secretary of state Marco Rubio talking about what it's been like to negotiate with zalinski when President Trump posts that president zalinski is a dictator without elections what are you thinking I think president Trump is very upset at president zalinski and in some Cas and and rightfully so look number one
Joe Biden had frustrations with zalinsky people shouldn't forget it there are newspaper articles out there about how he cursed at him in a phone call because zalinsky instead of saying thank you for all your help is immediately out there messaging what we're not doing or what he's not getting I think the second thing is frankly I was personally very upset because we had a conversation with President zalinski the vice president and I the two three of us and we discussed this issue about the mineral rights and we explained to them look we want to be
a joint venture with you not cuz we're trying to steal from your country but because we think that's actually a security guarantee if we're your partner in an important economic Endeavor we get to get paid back some of the money the taxpayers have given close to $200 billion and um it also now we have a vested interest in the security of Ukraine and he said sure we want to do this deal it makes all the sense in the world the only thing is I need to run it through my legislative process they have to approve
it I read two days later that zalinski is out there saying I rejected the deal I told them no way that we're not doing that well that's not what happened in that meeting so you start to get upset by somebody we're trying to help these guys one of the points the president made in his messaging is not that we don't care about Ukraine but Ukraine is on another continent you know it doesn't directly impact the daily lives of Americans we care about it because it has implications for our allies and ultimately for the world there
should be some level of gratitude here about this and when you don't see it and you see him out there accusing the president of living in a world of disinformation that's highly very counterproductive and I don't need to explain to you or anybody else Donald Trump's not president Trump's not the kind of person that's going to sit there take that he's very transparent he's going to tell you exactly how he feels and he sent a message that he's not going to get gamed here he's willing to work on peace because he cares about Ukraine and
he hopes zalinsky will be a partner in that and not someone who's out there putting the sort of counter messaging to try to you know hustle us in that regard that's not that's not going to be productive here I got to tell you guys as a Floridian I'm very proud of that guy he obviously was our Senator here for many years and did a really great job at that ran for president against Trump years ago that didn't work out but when you listen to him there the way he's able to explain these things and it's
common it's clear and it's like you know he's telling the truth he's saying we sat down with this guy we tried to figure out something that makes sense what makes sense well it doesn't make sense to endlessly pour money into you but you guys are rich when it comes to these minerals if we can figure out a partnership there then we have a vested interest actually in defending you because we're getting some of the benefits of these important minerals we're kind of in business together that means we might be able to give you some security
uh Arrangements etc etc and it's like they had that conversation it sounded like something was gonna happen and then it's like well we'll find out we'll find out you don't have to take Rubio's word for it but with zinsky just basically backed out or said I was never going to do it or anything else which that does seem to be the truth to me um we will find out
