Zelenskiy to visit White House to sign minerals deal, according to US president
Ukraine and the US have agreed to a "framework" natural resources deal, but security guarantees for Kyiv remain under discussion. President Zelenskyy may visit Washington to sign the deal, which involves a fund jointly managed by both countries with Ukraine contributing revenue from natural resource assets. Trump casts doubt on providing security guarantees, suggesting Europe should handle that. Russia wants more Ukrainian territory and opposes western peacekeepers, complicating ceasefire efforts. Trump claims the deal will be worth $350 billion to the US.
