Part 3/7:
Central to the meeting was a proposed economic agreement that would not only provide an economic framework for Ukraine’s recovery but also offer a means for American taxpayers to be reimbursed for the financial support provided during the war. Leavitt indicated that due to what she described as Zelenskyy’s "rude and antagonistic" approach, the deal fell apart, resulting in a missed opportunity for a productive negotiation.
Leavitt asserted that President Trump's commitment to peace remains unequivocal. She pointed out that the president had initiated conversations with Zelenskyy even before his inauguration, and that significant progress had been made in seeking a resolution in the short time since taking office.
