He made it clear that he is in favor of Ukraine and is eager for the war to come to a close, stressing the significance of the mineral agreement.

"Yeah, I’m with Ukraine. We just signed a big deal on rare earth with Ukraine," Trump said.

The White House chief of staff emphasized that his main goal is to stop the bloodbath in Ukraine.

"We’re going to be very tough, whether it’s Russia or anybody else, we’re going to be very tough, that’s a bloodbath that’s going on over there," Trump added.

Earlier, on June 5, the public learned of the rift between the President Trump and his go-to friend and later colleague, Elon Musk, who said that Donald Trump would have lost the US presidential election without his support. 

As a reminder, US Senator Lindsey Graham proposed an exception to the sanctions for countries that support Ukraine. This refers to the Graham-Blumenthal bill, which imposes a 500% tariff on countries that purchase energy from Russia.
