National security advisor Michael Waltz says Ukraine should ‘tone down’ Trump criticism

National Security Advisor Mike Waltz told Fox News that Ukraine needs to “tone down” its criticism of President Donald Trump and to sign an economic deal he believes would be the “best security guarantee they could ever hope for.” 

Waltz spoke on “Fox & Friends” a day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggested Trump is in a “disinformation space” regarding peace talks with Russia. Trump responded by calling Zelenskyy “A Dictator without Elections,” writing in a Truth Social post that “Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left.” 

“Why we are getting this pushback and certainly this kind of – as the vice president said, badmouthing in the press — for all the administration has done in his first term as well and all the United States has done for Ukraine is just unacceptable. They need to tone it down and take a hard look and sign that deal,” Waltz said about Ukraine on Thursday. 

“There is obviously a lot of frustration here,” he added. “Vice President Vance was very frustrated leaving [last week’s] Munich Security Conference. Our Secretary of Treasury who traveled all the way to Kyiv is also frustrated, all on top of the president, obviously, who makes his frustration well known and that is because we presented the Ukrainians really an incredible and historic opportunity to have the United States of America co-invest in Ukraine, invest in its economy, invest in its natural resources, and really become a partner in Ukraine’s future in a way that is sustainable, but also would be I think the best security guarantee they could ever hope for, much more than another pallet of ammunition.” 

TRUMP CALLS UKRAINE’S ZELENSKYY A ‘DICTATOR WITHOUT ELECTIONS’ AS RIFT WIDENS 

The United States has sent billions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion nearly three years ago.  

The Trump administration is now seeking to recoup the cost of aid sent to the war-torn country by gaining access to rare earth minerals like titanium, iron and uranium. 

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Zelenskyy a document when they met last week that reportedly proposed the United States being granted 50% ownership of Ukraine’s rare earth minerals.

However, Zelenskyy declined to sign the proposed agreement, telling the Associated Press in Munich that it didn’t provide enough security guarantees for his country. 

“The president also said how much he loves the Ukrainian people,” Waltz said Thursday. “He was the first to arm them back in his first term, we have done a lot for the security of Ukraine and to say that we are going to change the nature of our aid going forward, I don’t think should offend anyone.” 

Zelenskyy said Thursday that he had a “productive meeting” with Keith Kellogg, the U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Russia and Ukraine, in Kyiv.

“I am grateful to the United States for all the assistance and bipartisan support for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people,” Zelenskyy wrote on X, adding that “We had a detailed conversation about the battlefield situation, how to return our prisoners of war, and effective security guarantees.”
