President Trump is meeting Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to finalize a preliminary deal granting U.S. access to Ukraine's essential raw materials in exchange for aid. The discussions come amidst tension, following Trump's previous derogatory comments about Zelenskyy and Ukraine. Although Ukraine seeks security guarantees against Russian aggression, these are currently not part of the proposed deal, which focuses on forming a Reconstruction Investment Fund to manage profits from Ukrainian resources. Zelenskyy had previously rejected terms that seemed disadvantageous to Ukraine, emphasizing their need for strategic partnership.
President Trump is set to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House to sign a preliminary deal regarding Ukraine's critical raw materials.
Zelenskyy says he will push to include explicit security guarantees in the final agreement because Ukraine needs protection from Russia.
