White House spokesperson: Trump is confident he can negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine this week.

Levitt's words are conveyed by Hill.

“The president and his team are very focused on continuing negotiations with both sides of this war to bring an end to the conflict, and the president is very confident that we can achieve this this week,” said Levitt.

She also noted that National Security Advisor Mike Waltz will be working on the agreement “around the clock” this weekend, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is, according to her, involved in discussions about a mineral agreement that “will reimburse taxpayer dollars” and “help rebuild Ukraine after the brutal war.”

“When it comes to critical minerals, this is a key aspect for the president. It is very important for the president because it will allow for the return of American taxpayer money,” stated the White House representative.
