Chapters

Well, Maria, it's a big deal. And I have two words for President Trump's agenda, peace and prosperity. And this moves both America and Ukraine in that direction. The deal was something that President Trump conceived back in February. He dispatched me to Kyiv to present it to President Zelensky. So we've been working on this.
