US national security adviser Mike Waltz has said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will sign a critical minerals deal with the US in “the very short term” and that the war in Ukraine will end “soon”.

“Under Trump, this war will end and it will end soon,” Waltz told an audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland on Friday. “He is the president of peace.”

Waltz said Zelenskyy wanted to develop critical minerals with US investment and claimed the Ukrainian leader would agree to a deal with Washington, although he did not provide details of the terms.

“Here’s the bottom line, President Zelenskyy is going to sign that deal, and you will see that in the very short term,” said Waltz.

“And that is good for Ukraine. What better could you have for Ukraine than to be in an economic partnership with the United States? . . . What better could you have for Ukraine to stop the killing?”
