Zelensky and Trump discuss Ukraine war and minerals deal

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House to discuss ending the war with Russia and to sign a minerals deal. This agreement aims to finance Ukraine's reconstruction and ties the two countries closer together. The deal includes a co-owned investment fund where Ukraine will contribute 50% of future revenues from natural resources. Zelensky emphasized the need for security guarantees alongside the economic agreement, while Trump remained noncommittal about U.S. security support. Zelensky's visit follows tensions between the two leaders, with Trump previously criticizing him. The meeting is seen as a diplomatic win for Ukraine, as Zelensky hopes to clarify U.S. military aid and potential arms purchases.
