The Big Deal Maker has caved repeatedly. He's now reduced to caving
in to Zelensky. The minerals deal was finally signed, but on
Ukraine's terms. They owe us nothing for the support they've given
but we will sell them whatever they have the cash for as well as
provide intel support. The EU is onboard with this and even as they
raise their own defense spending, they're collecting funds to pay for
purchases of US weaponry. Word is, the first order, some $50M, is on
the way already and Zelensky has placed an order for 15 Patriot
systems at a billion per - in cash USD.
Big Daddy is mighty upset that his Russian friend dumped him when he
stopped being useful. That little chat with Volodomyr at the Vatican
iced up the cake real well.

No tariff deals yet, nobody even admitting to US/China tariff
negotiations. He's done nothing but back down ever since Liberation
Day.
