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.

Prezident matbuot xizmati xabariga ko‘ra, uchrashuvda O‘zbekiston bilan Italiya o‘rtasidagi strategik sheriklik munosabatlarini, xususan, savdo-sotiq, sarmoyaviy va madaniy-gumanitar hamkorlikni rivojlantirish masalalari muhokama qilindi. Tomonlar mintaqaviy aloqalarni kengaytirishni ham muhokama qildilar.
Tomonlar ikki tomonlama munosabatlarning barcha darajadagi jadal sur’atlarini olqishladilar. Joriy yil boshidan buyon O‘zbekiston bilan Italiya o‘rtasidagi tovar ayirboshlash hajmi 25 foizga oshdi, metallurgiya, energetika, qishloq xo‘jaligi, kimyo sanoati va boshqa iqtisodiyot tarmoqlarida Italiyaning yetakchi kompaniyalari ishtirokida qo‘shma loyihalar amalga oshirilmoqda.
Janob Mirziyoyev O‘zbekiston bilan Toskana o‘rtasida uzoq yillik tarixiy va madaniy aloqalar mavjudligini ta’kidladi. Ipak yo‘li davrida Florensiyani hozirgi O‘zbekistonning qadimiy shaharlari bilan bog‘lagan faol savdo-sotiq Amir Temur saroyida florensiyalik savdogar va diplomatlarni kutib olgan.
Prezident taʼlim va madaniyat sohasidagi hamkorlikni kengaytirishga ham alohida eʼtibor qaratdi. Piza universitetining Toshkentdagi filiali bu yil o‘zining ilk talabalarini tamomladi, Prato shahrida esa o‘zbek to‘qimachilik mahsulotlarini targ‘ib qiluvchi savdo markazi mavjud. 2024-yilda Florensiyadagi Uffizi galereyasida O‘zbekiston avangard san’ati ko‘rgazmasi bo‘lib o‘tdi.
Anjumanda Toskana bilan to‘qimachilik, charm, oziq-ovqat mahsulotlarini qayta ishlash va zargarlik sanoati, shuningdek, qurilish, ta’lim, madaniyat va turizm sohalarida hamkorlikni kengaytirish uchun katta imkoniyatlar mavjudligi ta’kidlandi.
Tomonlar, shuningdek, Toskana va Buxoro viloyati o‘rtasida hamkorlik shartnomasi imzolanganini olqishlab, bu mintaqaviy sheriklikni mustahkamlash yo‘lidagi muhim qadam ekanini ta’kidladilar.
Uchrashuvdan so‘ng tomonlar Toskana va O‘zbekiston mintaqalari o‘rtasidagi hamkorlikni chuqurlashtirish bo‘yicha yangi loyiha va tashabbuslarni belgilovchi qo‘shma yo‘l xaritasini ishlab chiqish va qabul qilishga kelishib oldilar.
Toskana Italiyaning iqtisodiy rivojlangan mintaqalaridan biri boʻlib, kuchli sanoat bazasi, ilgʻor ishlab chiqarish, zamonaviy qishloq xoʻjaligi, jahon miqyosida eʼtirof etilgan vinochilik sanoati va yaxshi rivojlangan turizm sektoriga ega. Poytaxt Florensiya Uygʻonish davrining tugʻilgan joyi boʻlib, dunyoning yetakchi madaniyat va sanʼat markazlaridan biri sifatida keng tanilgan.
O‘zbekiston iqtisodiy landshaftida tarixiy burilish yuz berdi. Prezident tomonidan imzolangan “Toshkent xalqaro moliya markazi to‘g‘risida”gi Konstitutsiyaviy qonun mamlakatimizni global moliya xaritasiga olib chiqishga qaratilgan eng dadil strategik qadamdir.
Prezident Administratsiyasi rahbari Saida Mirziyoyeva ta’kidlaganidek, ushbu markaz qariyb o‘n yillik tizimli o‘zgarishlarning mantiqiy natijasidir. Bu shunchaki yangi muassasa emas, balki mamlakatning xalqaro kapital bozorlariga bo‘lgan qarashini tubdan o‘zgartiruvchi institutsional poydevordir.
Markaz hududida xalqaro standartlarga mos alohida huquqiy rejim joriy etiladi. Bu yerda faoliyat yurituvchi mustaqil moliyaviy regulyator va Toshkent xalqaro tijorat sudi investorlar uchun eng muhim omil huquqiy barqarorlikni ta’minlaydi. Ekotizim bank va investitsiya xizmatlari, islom moliyasi, raqamli aktivlar hamda konsalting kabi sohalarni qamrab olib, O‘zbekistonni mintaqaviy moliya markaziga aylantirishni maqsad qiladi.
Hukumat oldiga qo‘yilgan maqsadlar ulkan:
2030-yilgacha 20–25 mlrd AQSh dollarigacha qo‘shimcha investitsiyalarni jalb qilish;
15 minggacha yuqori malakali ish o‘rinlarini yaratish;
10 ming nafar mutaxassisning xalqaro standartlar asosida malakasini oshirish.
Bu strategiya xususiy sektorni jadallashtirish va innovatsion moliyaviy xizmatlarni kengaytirish orqali mamlakat investitsiyaviy jozibadorligini yangi darajaga olib chiqadi. Toshkent endilikda global moliya tizimiga chuqur integratsiyalashgan, ochiq va raqobatbardosh markaz sifatida jahon hamjamiyatiga yuzlanmoqda.
O‘zbekiston Respublikasi Prezidenti Shavkat Mirziyoyev Qatar davlati amiri Shayx Tamim bin Hamad Ol Soniyga uning otasi, Qatar Davlatining sobiq amiri Shayx Hamad bin Xalifa Ol Soniy vafot etgani munosabati bilan ta’ziya yo‘lladi.
Hamdardlik maktubida Shayx Hamad bin Xalifa Ol Soniy uzoq yillar Qatar Davlatining ijtimoiy-iqtisodiy taraqqiyoti, ulkan bunyodkorlik ishlarini amalga oshirish, aholi turmush darajasi va farovonligini yuksaltirish, mamlakatni har tomonlama rivojlantirishga beqiyos hissa qo‘shgani, o‘z Vatanining chinakam fidoyi va olijanob farzandi bo‘lgani ta’kidlanadi.
“O‘zbekiston va Qatar o‘rtasidagi do‘stona aloqalar va hamkorlikni yangi bosqichga ko‘tarishga munosib ulush qo‘shgan Shayx Hamad Ol Soniy A’lo Hazratlarining yorqin xotirasi va o‘chmas nomi qalblarimizda abadiy saqlanib qoladi”,- deyiladi maktubda.
Davlatimiz rahbari Qatar amiriga, uning oila a’zolari va barcha yaqinlariga, butun Qatar xalqiga chuqur hamdardlik izhor etdi.
Prezident Shavkat Mirziyoyev elektropoyezdda Toshkentdan Bekobod shahriga keldi.
Davlatimiz rahbarining 2025-yil 27-dekabrda qabul qilingan «2030-yilga qadar temir yo‘l transportida mahalliy yo‘nalishlarda yo‘lovchi tashish ko‘rsatkichlarini oshirish chora-tadbirlari to‘g‘risida»gi qarori asosida hududlarda transport infratuzilmasi yangilanib, mahalliy qatnovlar kengaytirilmoqda. Natijada aholi uchun qulay va sifatli transport xizmatlari yo‘lga qo‘yilmoqda.
Bekobod vokzalida Prezidentimiz poytaxt va mazkur shaharni bog‘lovchi yo‘nalishda amalga oshirilgan ishlar haqida axborot berildi.
192 kilometrlik «Toshkent – Bekobod» temir yo‘l qatnovi kuniga qariyb ming nafar, yiliga esa 300 ming nafar yo‘lovchiga xizmat ko‘rsatishi rejalashtirilgan. Endilikda unda olti vagondan iborat, 586 nafar yo‘lovchiga mo‘ljallangan elektropoyezd soatiga 120 kilometrgacha tezlikda harakatlanadi. Bu, ayniqsa, har kuni ish va o‘qishga qatnaydigan fuqarolar uchun qo‘shimcha qulaylik yaratadi.
Elektropoyezdda yo‘lovchilar uchun barcha zarur sharoitlar yaratilgan. Xususan, nogironligi bo‘lgan shaxslar uchun maxsus ko‘targichlar o‘rnatilgan. Vagonlar konditsioner va isitish tizimlari, yumshoq o‘rindiqlar, USB quvvatlash nuqtalari hamda Wi-Fi tarmog‘i bilan jihozlangan. Shuningdek, videokuzatuv tizimlari, elektron axborot tablolari va velosipedlar uchun maxsus joylar mavjud.
Tezkor elektropoyezdning qatnovga qo‘yilishi avtomobil yo‘llaridagi transport yuklamasini kamaytirish va ekologik toza transport ulushini oshirishga xizmat qiladi.
Prezidentimiz temir yo‘l infratuzilmasini yanada rivojlantirish, yo‘lovchilar uchun sharoitlarni yaxshilash, tarmoqlarni elektrlashtirish va temir yo‘llarga tutash hududlarni obodonlashtirish yuzasidan mutasaddilarga tegishli topshiriqlar berdi.
Shuningdek, davlatimiz rahbari vokzal infratuzilmasi, xizmat ko‘rsatish sifati va yo‘lovchilar harakatini samarali tashkil etish masalalariga alohida e’tibor qaratdi.
Prezident Shavkat Mirziyoyev qora metallurgiya sanoatini yangi bosqichga olib chiqish bo‘yicha ustuvor vazifalar yuzasidan yig‘ilish o‘tkazmoqda.
Davlatimiz rahbari qora metallurgiya qurilish, qurilish materiallari, avtomobilsozlik, mashinasozlik, energetika va elektrotexnika kabi jami 50 milliard dollarlik iqtisodiyot tarmoqlari uchun asosiy xomashyo manbalaridan biri ekanini ta’kidladi.
Iqtisodiyotni texnologik va innovatsion o‘sish modeliga o‘tkazib, yalpi ichki mahsulotni 2030 yilda 240 milliard dollarga yetkazish uchun yiliga kamida 8-9 foizli o‘sishni ta’minlash zarurligi qayd etildi.
Shu bilan birga, sohada importga qaramlik, tannarx va energiya sarfining yuqoriligi, raqamlashtirish va sun’iy intellektni joriy qilish bo‘yicha natijalar yetarli emasligi ko‘rsatib o‘tildi.
Ayniqsa, jahondagi ziddiyatlar va asosiy transport yo‘laklaridagi logistika muammolari sharoitida qora metallurgiyada xomashyo bazasini mustahkamlash, mahsulot turi va sifatini oshirish har qachongidan ham dolzarb ekani ta’kidlandi.
So‘nggi o‘n yilda mamlakatimizda po‘lat list, navli prokat, quvurlar va metall konstruksiyalarga ehtiyoj 3 karra ortib, 5,5 million tonnaga yetdi.
Yangi qurilayotgan atom elektr stansiyasi, To‘rtinchi mis boyitish fabrikasi va yangi mis eritish zavodining o‘ziga 2,5 million tonnaga yaqin po‘lat list va armatura kerak bo‘ladi.
Kelgusi besh yilda 180 milliard dollarlik yangi quvvatlar ishga tushiriladi, 27 milliard dollarlik infratuzilma loyihalari amalga oshirilib, 800 ming xonadonli ko‘p qavatli uy-joylar barpo etiladi.
Natijada metall mahsulotlariga yillik ehtiyoj 2030 yilgacha 1,5 barobar ko‘payib, 8 million tonnadan ortadi.
Davlatimiz rahbari mutasaddilarga ushbu ehtiyoj qaysi quvvatlar hisobidan ta’minlanishi yuzasidan aniq hisob-kitoblar bo‘lishi zarurligini ko‘rsatib o‘tdi.
