Uh......."good deal"? Perhaps it was based on what Trump originally proposed. The final deal appears to mean not much at all. It was Zelensky who brought this mineral deal up months ago. I have to hand it too him. Zelensky's goal seems to be to stall as long as he can Trump pulling sanctions and American arms sales to Ukraine.Most Republicans (including myself) still have a traditional Republican strong - on - foreign - policy approach. Rubio and Trump's negotiating team fall in this camp. Trump is an outlier in that he looks at diplomacy as making a "good deal." As we all know he's very transactional.
This is pure Trump. Make a deal, any deal, and then lie about it every day. Zelensky used that against Trump.
