Trump and Zelensky meet to discuss key agreement

Donald Trump welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on February 28, 2025. Trump commented on Zelensky's casual outfit, saying, “He's all dressed up today,” during their handshake. The leaders are set to finalize a deal on Ukraine’s rare earth minerals. This agreement includes an investment fund for Ukraine's reconstruction, with both countries contributing equally to its management and future profits.
