Did Ukraine Already Sign a Precious Metals Deal with the UK Back in January? Does President Trump Know About This?

Mar. 2, 2025

Who will ever forget how rude and dishonorable Ukraine’s President Zelensky was on Friday to President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, the President’s All-Star Cabinet, and the American people? Volodymyr Zelensky was way out of line, and his actions were repulsive for a weak leader visiting the country that has sent $350 billion to his war cause!

It could be that Zelensky was so out of line because he had numerous lies that he did not tell President Trump or the world.

For example, where is the $100 billion of US support that he lost and is currently unaccountable for? That’s kind of a big one!

It, however, turns out that this may not be Zelensky’s biggest lie.

Zelensky’s biggest lie may involve the UK and Europe.

Last month, the UK announced an agreement with Ukraine that was signed on Jan 16. There was one key point in the announcement that stuck out:

“It also cements the UK as a preferred partner for Ukraine’s energy sector, critical minerals strategy and green steel production.”

Although it has yet to be confirmed, some believe that this entire agreement includes Ukraine giving the rights to its minerals to the UK—NOT the US.

And this agreement was signed just days before Trump entered office. That way, the UK could screw American taxpayers who paid for Zelensky’s unending war with Russia.

Is this why the UK leader gave Zelensky a big hug when he arrived in London on Saturday the day after getting kicked out of the White House?

The UK and the EU blew their tops when President Trump said that Zelensky is not the legitimate leader of Ukraine! But President Trump has a point.

Zelensky won the Ukraine election and was appointed to a five-year term that ended last year. According to Ukraine’s constitution, it can be interpreted that Zelensky is no longer President. That means the agreement with Zelensky and the UK is null and void!

Maybe President Trump and his Cabinet knew that Zelensky was lying to them and hiding the facts behind his agreement with the UK? Maybe President Trump knows that any agreement with Zelensky is null and void? Maybe President Trump didn’t want to sign an agreement with Zelensky?

Is this why the EU held an emergency meeting today in the UK? They have all been rebuffed by President Trump. Their scheme with Ukraine all fell apart on Friday.

Time will tell.

We need to learn more about this UK agreement and why Zelensky decided to hide this from the US.

Bipartisan Group of RINOs and Democrat Senators Met with Zelensky and Blew Smoke Up His A$$ Before He Met with Trump – Zelensky Releases Video where You Can See Clearly Who Participated

by Jim Hoft Mar. 1, 2025

On Friday, Ukrainian President Zelensky met with a bipartisan group of US Senators and warmongers before his meeting with President Trump.

The meeting was held at the Hay Adams Hotel across from the White House and took place before Zelensky went to the White House.

Zelensky wrote:

An important visit to the United States. In Washington, I met with a bipartisan delegation from the U.S. Senate.

Our discussions focused on the continued military assistance for Ukraine, relevant legislative initiatives, my meeting with President Trump, efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace, our vision for ending the war, and the importance of robust security guarantees.

We take pride in having strategic partners and friends like the United States. We are grateful for the unwavering bicameral and bipartisan support for Ukraine throughout all three years of Russia’s full-scale aggression.

As you watch the video below, you see US senators acting like children with complete joy as they meet the megalomaniac who refuses peace with Russia.

Have they ever treated President Trump with such excitement? No, of course not.

After Zelensky met with these US Senators, he then went to the White House, where he:

disrespected the US President and his cabinet

spoke over both President Trump and VP J.D. Vance

called J.D. by his first name and not the title

Argued with Trump and Vance

Disrespected the American audience

And then, he was escorted from the White House.

It was a complete disaster.

Zelensky did not come to make peace. He came to continue the war and the devastation of Ukraine.

How much did this earlier meeting with the jumpy, happy US Senators have to do with it?

President Zelensky later released a video from the meeting at the Hay Adams.

So honored to take part in the hour-long discussion with President Zelensky and Senators Coons, Graham, and other Democratic and Republican Senators this morning. There is strong bipartisan support in the Senate for Ukraine’s freedom and democracy. pic.twitter.com/g1EjTKV9WD

Just finished a meeting with President Zelensky here in Washington. He confirmed that the Ukrainian people will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants and there are no security arrangements for Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/eaCePJ4UZr

This was a disgrace and undermined President Trump’s historic peace talks. Remember this when the primary season comes around!

What’s shocking is that after meeting and taking photo with Zelensky, RINO Lindsey Graham slammed him, calling the meeting “an absolute, utter disaster” and openly questioning whether Zelensky is “redeemable in the eyes of Americans.”

Norwegian Defense Minister Forced to Intervene After Fuel Supplier Threatens to Cut Off U.S. Military Vessels

by Jim Hᴏft Mar. 2, 2025

A Norwegian marine fuel supplier just learned a harsh lesson in geopolitics after its attempt to cut off the U.S. military backfired spectacularly.

Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s major fuel providers, announced it would no longer supply fuel to American military vessels in Norwegian ports. The reason? A temper tantrum over President Donald Trump’s unapologetic America First foreign policy.

This stunt came after a heated exchange between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Trump, standing firm with Vice President J.D. Vance by his side, reprimanded Zelensky for his entitled attitude toward U.S. aid, calling him out for refusing to engage in meaningful peace negotiations with Russia.

Trump went so far as to accuse Zelensky of “gambling with World War Three” before abruptly ending the meeting.

…The Norwegian government had no choice but to intervene. Defense Minister Tore O. Sandvik issued an official statement reaffirming that the Norwegian government does not support Haltbakk Bunkers’ reckless decision and that the U.S. military will continue to receive all necessary support in Norway.

The statement reads:

Enraged by Trump’s unwavering stance, Haltbakk Bunkers released an unhinged statement on social media, declaring, “No Fuel to Americans!” and urging other European companies to follow suit.

The company wrote:

We have today been witnesses to the biggest shitshow ever presented “live on tv” by the current American president and his vice president.

Huge credit to the president of Ukraine restraining himself and for keeping calm even though USA put on a backstabbing tv show. It made us sick. Short and sweet. As a result, we have decided to immediate STOP as fuel provider to American forces in Norway and their ships calling Norwegian ports.

“No Fuel to Americans!”

We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example. SLAVA UKRAINA

The company’s owner, Gunnar Gran, made it clear that his decision was purely political in an interview with Norwegian business outlet Kystens Næringsliv, stating he would not sell “a single liter” of fuel to American forces “until Trump is finished.”

Gran’s self-righteous post quickly spread across social media, where leftist activists and anti-Trump Europeans cheered on what they saw as a heroic act of “resistance.” But the celebration didn’t last long. After immediate backlash and embarrassment, Haltbakk Bunkers quietly deleted their statement.

The Norwegian government had no choice but to intervene. Defense Minister Tore O. Sandvik issued an official statement reaffirming that the Norwegian government does not support Haltbakk Bunkers’ reckless decision and that the U.S. military will continue to receive all necessary support in Norway.

The statement reads:

"We have seen reports raising concerns about support for US Navy vessels in Norway. This is not in line with the Norwegian government’s policy. I can confirm that all requested support has been provided.

The U.S. and Norway maintain a close and strong defense cooperation. American forces will continue to receive the supply and support they require from Norway."

Translation: A leftist-run company attempted to undermine U.S. military operations, but the Norwegian government knows better than to sever ties with its strongest ally.

Imported US sweets with illegal ingredients seized

11 December 2023

Sweets imported from the US containing illegal ingredients have been seized from shops across the country.

Mountain Dew drinks, Jolly Ranchers, Swedish Fish and Lemon Heads are advertised on TikTok and Instagram and are popular stocking fillers.

But they contain carcinogenic and genotoxic ingredients that have been banned by the UK government.

Manufacturers said they were not involved with the sale of their products in this country.

In Staffordshire, trading standards officers seized £8,000 of illegal sweets from 22 shops.

In one raid in Burton-upon-Trent, over £300 worth of banned confectionary was found in a local corner shop.

They included Jolly Ranchers hard sweets containing mineral oil, which if contaminated with other compounds can initiate cancer formations.

Calcium Disodium EDTA, which is banned within drinks in the UK, was found in Mountain Dew.

In animal studies, the crystalline powder caused adverse reproductive and developmental effects and has been shown to contribute to cancer of the colon.

"People are selling these products not realising they have banned ingredients in them," Stephanie Young, trading standards team leader in Staffordshire, said.

She said some of the products can be on the UK market legitimately if they comply with food standards but those found on the raid were "American branded and not destined for the UK".

Morning Live spoke to parents on the streets of Manchester who said their children loved candy manufactured in the US.

"I think they see the marketing and go right for it," one mum said.

Ms Young said it wasn't just small independent shops stocking the sweets. They have also been found larger retailers and supermarkets.

Last year, £25m worth of US sweets were imported which is 70% more than in 2017.

"It's obviously getting through the ports somewhere," Ms Young, who is also lead officer for the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI), said.

"The volume of stuff that we get through the ports, only a small percentage will be checked," she said.

Emeritus Professor Erik Millstone from the University of Sussex said the amount of banned products finding their way onto shelves was concerning.

"The US typically demands proof that something is harmful, whereas here we are prepared to restrict compounds even if there yet isn't sold proof," he said.

"Don't panic about anything you've done in the past, but if you can avoid them in future that's a prudent thing to do."

The manufacturers of Lemonheads, Starburst Gummies, Hershey's and Jolly Ranchers told the BBC their products were produced legally in the USA and that any products being sold in the UK were being done so illegally, and not associated with their brands.

Mars, which manufactures Starburst Gummies, added it had been working to prevent unauthorized third party importation of its products in the UK.
