U.S. and Ukraine Discuss ‘Improved’ Minerals Deal

U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to revive negotiations on a minerals extraction deal with Ukraine after criticizing President Volodymyr Zelensky's leadership.

Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Zelensky's treatment of U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during his recent visit, who was not able to secure the agreement.
During a press conference, Zelensky cited the request for 50% of Ukraine's rare minerals without security guarantees as a primary reason for not signing the deal.
