"It was a good TV show" – what negotiating strategy did Trump use

Now, after such a hard day, we can start planning the next steps. And there are months of work to do here.

There will be a rare earths deal. It is beneficial to both sides, but thanks to Politico's publications and extensive coverage in the American press, the Trump team felt that it was less beneficial for them than for Ukraine. Therefore, all this discourse yesterday will clearly trigger a review of this process and the text of the deal itself.

There will be weapons. It was not for nothing that Trump said this before the start of Vance's provocations – this is an element of his negotiations, not our cooperation, so he needs it out of his own interest. However, the issue of weapons supplies after the ceasefire will definitely be shifted to the Europeans.
