According to reports, after the UK exerted diplomatic pressure on Putin, Trump changed his attitude towards him.
Trump attempted to persuade Putin to accept his proposed 30-day ceasefire request, but Putin refused.
A source told Politico that Trump was informed that Putin "has consistently violated the ceasefire agreement he claims to be implementing, which is disrespectful to him."
The U.S. has now signed a multi-billion dollar mineral agreement with Ukraine.
Trump stated that if Putin rejects the peace agreement, he will provide Ukraine with "more weapons than ever before."
Of course, these weapons are not free. They will be offset by Ukraine's mineral resources. This is the true significance of signing the U.S.-Ukraine mineral agreement.
