Trump and Zelenskiy cancel minerals deal after conflict
A planned minerals deal between the U.S. and Ukraine was canceled after a heated meeting between President Trump and President Zelenskiy. The discussion turned contentious over Zelenskiy's skepticism about Trump's ability to secure peace with Russia. Zelenskiy stated that Ukraine would not accept a simple ceasefire, citing past violations by Russia. Trump and Vice President Vance criticized Zelenskiy for his approach, suggesting it was disrespectful and detrimental to negotiations. The deal aimed to strengthen economic ties but lacked the security guarantees Zelenskiy sought. The meeting ended without an agreement, leaving the future of U.S. support for Ukraine uncertain.
