How Zelensky learned the art of the deal and got to visit Trump
Things change fast in Donald Trump’s world.
A few days ago, the US president falsely branded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a “dictator” who started Russia’s war in Ukraine and had “no cards” to play.
But on Friday the Ukrainian war hero will get a full White House welcome.
“We’re going to have a very good meeting. … We’re going to get along really well. OK. We have a lot of respect. I have a lot of respect for him,” Trump said Thursday.
Zelensky has had his own epiphany.
Last week, he accused Trump of ushering Russian President Vladimir Putin out of isolation after the US sent his officials to peace talks in Saudi Arabia without Ukraine. And he warned that the US president was living in a “disinformation space.”
But Zelensky has learned a critical lesson: Give Trump the win.
The Ukrainian president is traveling to Washington to sign an agreement for the US to exploit Ukraine’s rare earth mineral resources. The first draft of the deal looked a lot like colonial-style pillage being forced upon a desperate nation; Zelensky refused to sign it, warning he couldn’t sell out his nation’s wealth. Trump had claimed he could make half a trillion dollars to pay back US taxpayers for the military and financial lifeline to Ukraine after the Russian invasion.
The latest version appears far less onerous for Ukraine — which initiated discussions with the US last year about using its mineral stocks to finance the rebuilding of its devastated cities and infrastructure. There’s talk of a joint reconstruction fund but no mention of Trump’s initial claim for a $500 billion value — which was a perfect metaphor for a foreign policy vision that sees the world as a real estate deal.
Perhaps. But even if he’s managed to remove the most punitive aspects of the proposed deal, the truth is that Zelensky had little choice. He’s trying to force his way back into the peace talks. And if Zelensky’s first visit with Trump since his reelection cools fears Ukraine is set to be sold out, it may also hold the possibility of a long-term US relationship with the country – a prospect that seemed unlikely only a few days ago.
Zelensky is styling the agreement as only a framework for a future pact — largely because he’s trying to leverage Ukraine’s mineral wealth for future US security guarantees he sees as vital to the survival of any eventual peace deal.
So why the thaw?
Trump offered a clue earlier this week during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.
“I do deals. My whole life is deals,” Trump said.
Just because the rare earth minerals deal with Ukraine seems likely to fall short of the president’s expectations, it doesn’t mean that he won’t market it as an extraordinary victory for himself and Americans.
“We’re going to be signing an agreement, which will be a very big agreement,” the president said before a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
Trump’s zeal for a deal even led him to conveniently forget his previous claim that Zelensky — against whom he bears a grudge because the Ukrainian president was on the other end of the call that led to his first impeachment — was a dictator.
“Did I say that? I can’t believe I said that. Next question?” Trump said in the Oval Office on Thursday, with the hint of a smirk.
Trump insists he trusts Putin
A lot might have changed between Zelensky and Trump in recent days.
But nothing has changed between Trump and Putin, and the US leader’s latest display of complete trust in the Russian leader on Thursday set off a huge, flashing alarm bell about the kind of deal he might try to do with Russia.
“I think he’ll keep his word. I’ve spoken to him, I’ve known him for a long time now, you know?” Trump said in the Oval Office alongside British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. “I don’t believe he is going to violate his word. I don’t think he’ll be back when we make a deal.”
There’s an argument that only Trump among Western leaders could get Putin to the table and end a war that has inflicted a devastating toll among civilians, destroyed vast swaths of Ukraine and rocked the world. And if the president secures a just and lasting peace, he’ll deserve the Nobel Prize he craves.
But there’s tangible fear among US allies in Europe that Trump will settle for any deal with the Russian leader that validates his illegal conquest of about 20% of Ukraine’s territory, sets the table for an even worse war in the future, and tempts Putin to try to bite off another chunk of Europe – perhaps the Baltic states.
Both Starmer and Macron this week made the point in stark terms in front of Trump.
“We have to get it right,” Starmer said during a press conference with Trump on Thursday. “There’s a famous slogan in the United Kingdom from after the Second World War that is that we have to win the peace. And that’s what we must do now, because it can’t be peace that rewards the aggressor, or that gives encouragement to regimes like Iran.”
Macron tried to impress upon Trump the impossibility of doing a deal with the Russian leader, reliving his frustration over his dealings with Putin before the invasion. “I had several discussions, especially (at the) beginning of 2022, several times, 7 hours with President Putin. Fifteen days before the launching of the attack, he denied everything,” Macron said.
There’s no reason for Trump to believe in Putin’s good faith. The last five US administrations have all tried to reset relations with Russia and its strongman leader. Each attempt failed. And Putin has repeatedly broken his word – most recently when he denied he had any plan to invade Ukraine, then did.
Trump’s willingness to take the Russian president at his word – and the possibility that could lead to appeasement rather than a solid, lasting peace deal – worries many former senior officials.

Turkiy dunyo integratsiyasi qardosh xalqlarimiz taqdiriga bevosita daxldor bo‘lgan uzoq muddatli strategik masalaga aylanayotgani ta’kidlandi.
– Bugungi uchrashuvimiz jahonda turli ziddiyatlar tobora avj olayotgan davrga to‘g‘ri kelmoqda. Xalqaro munosabatlarda ishonch taqchilligi yanada kuchayib, global institutlarning o‘rni va ta’siri borgan sari zaiflashmoqda. Bu muammolar bizdan o‘zaro muloqotlarni faollashtirib, muhim masalalar bo‘yicha uyg‘un pozitsiyalarni ishlab chiqishni taqozo etmoqda, – dedi O‘zbekiston Prezidenti.
So‘nggi yillarda Turkiy davlatlar tashkiloti barqaror rivojlanish sur’atlarini namoyish etayotgan nufuzli tuzilmaga aylandi. Jumladan, 2025 yilda davlatlarimiz umumiy iqtisodiy salohiyati 2,4 trillion dollardan oshdi va uning dinamikasi global o‘sishdan ikki barobar yuqori bo‘ldi.
O‘tgan yilning o‘zida O‘zbekistonning TDT mamlakatlari bilan savdo aylanmasi 14 foizga o‘sdi. Joriy yildan Turkiy investitsiya jamg‘armasi operatsion faoliyatini boshladi. Markaziy banklar kengashi, “yashil” moliyalashtirish bo‘yicha Turkiy kengash ishi yo‘lga qo‘yildi.
Davlatimiz rahbari oldinda ko‘p qirrali munosabatlarga tizimli tus berish bo‘yicha dolzarb vazifalar turganini qayd etdi. Qolaversa, sammitning sun’iy intellekt va raqamli rivojlanish mavzusiga bag‘ishlangani ham bejiz emas.
– O‘lkalarimizda yashab ijod qilgan ulug‘ bobolarimiz – Muhammad Xorazmiy, Ahmad Farg‘oniy, Abu Rayhon Beruniy, Mirzo Ulug‘bek algoritm, matematika, astronomiya va fizika fanlari ravnaqiga beqiyos hissa qo‘shib, shu tariqa hozirgi sun’iy intellekt rivoji uchun asos yaratganlar. Biz ajdodlarimizning ana shunday bebaho merosiga tayanib, bugun Turkiy dunyoning yangi raqamli taraqqiyot davrini barpo etyapmiz, – dedi Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
Prezidentimiz o‘z nutqida ushbu yo‘nalishda hamkorlikni rivojlantirish uchun bir qator aniq tashabbuslarni ilgari surdi.
O‘zbekiston rahbari global texnologik jarayonlarni inobatga olgan holda tashkilot doirasida sun’iy intellekt sohasida strategik hamkorlik tarmog‘ini shakllantirish lozimligini ta’kidladi. Mazkur tashabbus kvant hisoblash texnologiyalari va yagona raqamli makonni yaratish orqali iqtisodiy o‘sishning yangi nuqtalarini belgilashga xizmat qiladi.
Shuningdek, mintaqaviy ma’lumotlar almashinuvini ta’minlovchi “Raqamli turkiy koridor konsepsiyasi”ni ishlab chiqish va Toshkent shahrida TDT a’zo davlatlarining Texnologiyalar forumini o‘tkazish taklif etildi.
Ilmiy-ma’naviy merosni puxta o‘rganish va targ‘ib etish uchun Toshkent shahrida barpo etilgan Islom sivilizatsiyasi markazi mintaqaviy yirik ilmiy-ma’rifiy maskanga aylanib bormoqda. Shu kunlarda majmuada TURKSOYning ofisi ochildi.
– Ushbu markaz TURKSOY va Turkiy akademiya bilan tarixiy-madaniy manbalarimizni yagona “katta ma’lumotlar” platformasiga jamlasa, xalqlarimiz uchun foydali ish bo‘lar edi, – dedi davlatimiz rahbari.
Sammitda Yassaviy tariqatining bag‘rikenglik va ma’rifatparvarlik g‘oyalarini hamkorlikda chuqur o‘rganish va keng targ‘ib etish taklifi ham berildi.
Yosh avlodni zamonaviy kasblarga tayyorlash maqsadida O‘zbekiston tomonidan amalga oshirilayotgan “5 million sun’iy intellekt yetakchilari” dasturi yuqori baholanmoqda. Prezidentimiz yoshlarning startap loyihalarini moliyalashtirish uchun O‘zbekiston va Qozog‘iston tomonidan tashkil etilayotgan Qo‘shma venchur jamg‘armasiga a’zo davlatlarni qo‘shilishga chorladi.
Yuk tashish jarayonlarini soddalashtirish maqsadida a’zo davlatlar o‘rtasida “E-Permit” elektron ruxsatnomalar tizimi to‘liq yo‘lga qo‘yilgani mamnuniyat bilan qayd etildi. Strategik ahamiyatga ega bo‘lgan o‘rta koridorni ayni paytda qurilayotgan “Xitoy – Qirg‘iziston – O‘zbekiston” temir yo‘li bilan bog‘lash hamda bojxona ma’lumotlari almashinuvini to‘liq raqamlashtirish bo‘yicha amaliy vazifalar belgilab berildi.
Iqlim o‘zgarishiga qarshi muvofiqlashtirilgan harakatlarni tashkil etish maqsadida 2027 yilni turkiy dunyoda “Tabiatni asrash yili” deb e’lon qilish tashabbusi ilgari surildi.
Shu bilan birga, sun’iy yo‘ldosh ma’lumotlari asosida TDT iqlim xatarlarini monitoring qilib borish tizimini yaratish hamda qurg‘oqchilikni barvaqt aniqlash, transchegaraviy suv resurslarini boshqarish jarayoniga sun’iy intellektni tatbiq etish zarurligi qayd etildi.
Terrorizm, ekstremizm va kibertahdidlarga qarshi kurashishda mustahkam huquqiy va texnologik zamin yaratish maqsadida Kiberxavfsizlik va raqamli infratuzilmani himoya qilish bo‘yicha Turkiy alyansni tuzish taklifi berildi.
O‘zbekiston yetakchisi o‘z nutqi yakunida ta’kidlaganidek, intellektual salohiyat va birlikning uyg‘unligi Turkiy dunyoni barqaror taraqqiyot va ilg‘or yechimlar makoniga aylantiradi.
Sammit yakunida Turkiston deklaratsiyasi qabul qilindi.
Turkiston shahrida bo‘lib o‘tayotgan Turkiy davlatlar tashkilotining norasmiy sammiti doirasida O‘zbekiston Respublikasi Prezidenti Shavkat Mirziyoyev va Qirg‘iz Respublikasi Prezidenti Sadir Japarovning uchrashuvi bo‘lib o‘tdi.
Samimiy muloqotda O‘zbekiston – Qirg‘iziston do‘stlik, yaxshi qo‘shnichilik va keng qamrovli strategik sheriklik munosabatlarini yanada mustahkamlashning dolzarb masalalari ko‘rib chiqildi.
O‘zaro savdo hajmi jadal o‘sib, sanoat, qishloq, suv xo‘jaligi va boshqa ustuvor sohalarda kooperatsiya loyihalari ilgari surilayotgani mamnuniyat bilan qayd etildi. Madaniy-gumanitar almashinuvlar kengayib bormoqda.
Oliy darajada erishilgan kelishuvlarni amalga oshirish masalalari, energetika va transport sohalaridagi yirik mintaqaviy loyihalarni, shu jumladan, «Xitoy – Qirg‘iziston – O‘zbekiston» temir yo‘li qurilishini jadallashtirish choralari muhokama qilindi.
Shuningdek, yetakchilar mintaqaviy kun tartibining muhim jihatlari yuzasidan fikr almashdilar va bo‘lajak oliy darajadagi tadbirlar rejasini ko‘rib chiqdilar.
