Johnson confirmed that Trump “was very clear in this matter – then [Zelenskyy] Zelinski has repeatedly said that he is seeking to include security guarantees – or assurances that the United States will come to Ukraine’s assistance if Russia violates the ceasefire – in the metal rights agreement.
At Spat Oval Office, Trump Zelinski told “he does not have cards” to negotiate and join Vans in the Ukrainian President’s demand to be more grateful for the United States’s support for Ukraine.

On Sunday, Johnson chanted the president and vice -president, and told “Meet the Press”, Kristen Wilker, that Zelinski “and his host clips, instead of expressing his gratitude for the exceptional assistance provided by the United States his country.”
Johnson also argued that security guarantees were inherent in the metal rights deal, he told Wilker, “This metal rights deal is victory, a victory for everyone. We will allow us to reach the rare land minerals that we need, and will provide a level of security for Ukraine.”
Johnson added: “They will actually be in an economic partnership with us after this point, and we will always defend our interests and investments,” Johnson added. “Russia knows that. China knows that. Iran knows North Korea that, and this is a very important message for us.”

In an interview later on “Meet The Press”, Senator James Lancford, R-OKLA, pushed the calls of Republican Party officials to Zelenskyy to resign, tell Welker, “I am not interested in calling for the resignation of other world leaders.”

Senator Bernie Sanders, I-VT, also prompted Zelenskyy calls to resign, describing it as a “horrific proposal” on “Meet the Press” later on Sunday.
“Zelinski is leading a state, in an attempt to defend democracy against an authoritarian dictator – Putin – who invaded his country,” Sanders added.

It can affect Medicaid financingWhich affects health care and insurance for millions of low -income and disabled people. Johnson said on Sunday that Republicans in the House of Representatives did not intend to touch the financing of medical aid in the budget bill, and they told Wilker, “Do not take my word for that, Christine, go to a search for the budget decision that we passed on Tuesday. There is no mention of medical care, medical aid or social security.”
Johnson said: “The American people want us to review the country’s expenses and obtain our financial house, and this is what we should do,” adding that Republicans in the House of Representatives also want to expand the scope of Trump’s tax cuts for 2017, which ends this year.

When asked whether social security is musk and the next goal of the Ministry of Government, Johnson Wilker told, “I met Eleon about this several times. We meet late at night in his office, and we looked at that. What he finds with his algorithms that crawl through the data of the social security system is huge amounts of fraud, waste and abuse.”
Johnson added: “We have a moral responsibility to ensure that these programs do not allow this, and this tremendous fraud and assault, and this is what he finds,” Johnson added.
On Sunday, Sanders invited Musa’s comments “completely impressive”, during an interview with “Meet The Press”.
