Trump and Zelenskyy sign mineral deal for U.S. profits

President Trump will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday to sign a mineral deal. This agreement aims to give the U.S. a share of profits from Ukraine's minerals, intended as repayment for U.S. aid. The deal is part of efforts to support Ukraine amid its ongoing conflict with Russia. It may involve five rare minerals, with both countries managing a fund for these resources on equal terms. Trump stated that the agreement would help American taxpayers recover aid costs. However, some analysts question the availability of Ukraine's rare earth deposits and the deal's effectiveness in preventing future invasions.
