Trump and Zelenskyy to sign minerals deal today

U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are set to sign a minerals deal at the White House today. This agreement aims to give the U.S. access to Ukraine's natural resources, including oil and gas. Trump has softened his previous criticism of Zelenskyy, calling him a "dictator" last week. He now expresses respect for Zelenskyy, stating, "I have a lot of respect for him," ahead of their meeting. Details of the minerals deal remain unclear, with Zelenskyy seeking U.S. security guarantees. Trump has not committed to these guarantees but mentioned ongoing discussions about the deal's framework and potential security arrangements.
