Trump says Zelenskyy is negotiating with 'no cards'
Trump continued to express frustration with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with Fox News Radio host Brian Kilmeade.
Trump was repeatedly pressed about who was to blame for the war starting, but he sidestepped each time. He at one point seemed to concede that Russia did attack Ukraine, but still blamed Ukraine for not making concessions.
"Every time I say, oh, it's not Russia's fault, I always get slammed by the fake news. But I'm telling you, Biden said the wrong things," Trump said. "Zelenskyy said the wrong things."
Trump seemed particularly upset about the first mineral resources deal that Ukraine rejected. A U.S. official with knowledge of the negotiations said a new version has been put on the table.

"I've been watching for years, and I've been watching him negotiate with no cards. He has no cards. And you get sick of it. You just get sick of it. And I've had it," Trump said of Zelenskyy.
"But we made a deal with rare earth, and Secretary of Treasury, a very good guy, actually went there, and they couldn't even come close to getting a deal done," Trump said. "And frankly, I wish he didn't go there, waste all of his time like that, but they couldn't get close. They met, right, and then when he wanted to get it close, he was unable to meet him again. But so just a wasted trip, a dangerous trip, too."
