Johnson says Zelensky has done 'about face' on mineral deal
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said during a radio interview that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has done a complete “about face” on the U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal that was not signed after the heated meeting between the two delegations late last month.
“I'm really grateful and glad that Zelensky, in the last several days, has done an about face. He's effectively apologized for all that. And he said, ‘Oh no, no, we would like that deal after all.’ I think he had a rude awakening,” Johnson said during his Saturday appearance on John Catsimatidis’s radio show “Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM.
“I think a lot of the people in his country were upset with the way that was handled. Certainly we all were, but we've got to get him back to the table,” Johnson told Catsimatidis.
