U.S. President Donald Trump said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy would be coming to Washington on Friday to sign an agreement on rare-earth minerals and Zelenskyy said its success would depend on the outcome of their discussions.
The deal, under which Kyiv would hand some revenue from its mineral resources to a fund jointly controlled by the U.S., is central to Ukrainian attempts to win strong support from Trump as he seeks a quick end to Russia’s war, with U.S.-Russian talks that have so far excluded Kyiv set to continue on Thursday.
