US presents revised rare earth minerals deal to Ukraine as Trump adviser calls for renewed talks

The US has proposed a revised deal for Ukraine's rare earth minerals after the initial offer was rejected by President Zelensky. The new draft aims to address Zelensky's concerns about security guarantees. The first proposal would have given the US 50% of Ukraine's rare mineral stock, valued at $500 billion. Zelensky dismissed it due to insufficient protections for Ukraine. Despite tensions between Trump and Zelensky, the Ukrainian president expressed optimism about future discussions, emphasizing the need for peace talks that include security guarantees against further Russian aggression.
