Trump reading Zelenskyy letter met with support from GOP, independent voters

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s recent letter to President Donald Trump has sparked excitement among independent and Republican voters, according to a Fox News Digital focus group. In the letter, Zelenskyy expressed Ukraine’s readiness to sign a proposed minerals deal, emphasizing the country’s commitment to peace and sovereignty.

During a speech on Tuesday, Trump shared excerpts from the letter, highlighting Zelenskyy’s willingness to work with the U.S. to achieve lasting peace and security. The news received positive reactions from both independents and Republicans, with many praising Zelenskyy’s proactive stance on the proposed deal.

The focus group, conducted by maslansky + partners, revealed a surge in Republican approval when Trump mentioned receiving the letter. Independents also showed increased support when Trump read aloud Zelenskyy’s message about signing the agreement. In contrast, Democratic responses remained relatively neutral throughout this portion of Trump’s speech.

Trump’s speech also touched on ongoing discussions with Russia and the need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. He emphasized the importance of dialogue and diplomacy in ending the senseless war and bringing about a lasting peace.

The letter from Zelenskyy comes after a contentious meeting in the Oval Office last Friday, where concerns about Ukraine’s security were raised. The meeting ended abruptly with no deal signed, leading to tensions between the two leaders.

The proposed minerals deal aims to give the U.S. access to Ukraine’s natural resources, including critical minerals, oil, and gas. The agreement would require Ukraine to allocate a portion of its revenues to a joint Reconstruction Investment Fund, aimed at repaying military aid provided by the U.S. during the conflict with Russia.
