Trump-Zelenskyy meeting halted crucial mineral deal signing

Donald Trump's meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ended abruptly, preventing the signing of a critical minerals deal. Tensions arose over Zelenskyy's request for unconditional U.S. support amid the ongoing war with Russia, which Trump opposed. The proposed deal aimed to give the U.S. access to Ukraine's valuable mineral resources, essential for various industries. Trump had previously linked military aid to securing these resources, but Zelenskyy sought a broader agreement that included security guarantees. The cancellation of the signing ceremony highlights the diplomatic fallout from the meeting. The failure to finalize the deal raises concerns about the future of U.S.-Ukraine relations and the ongoing support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.
