U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday he expects positive outcomes from upcoming U.S.-Ukraine talks in Saudi Arabia, signaling a possible shift in Washington’s approach to Kyiv.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said his administration has "just about" lifted a pause on intelligence sharing with Ukraine. He also indicated that the U.S. is evaluating tariffs on Russia while remaining unconcerned about recent Russia-China-Iran military exercises.
"We're going to make a lot of progress, I believe, this week," Trump said.
Trump also suggested that Ukraine is likely to sign a minerals agreement with the U.S. but emphasized that he wants Kyiv to pursue peace.
The U.S. paused military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine earlier this year, raising concerns among European allies. However, Trump's latest remarks suggest a possible policy adjustment as Washington prepares for negotiations.
