Zelenskyy seeks U.S. security guarantees from Trump

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is meeting with former President Donald Trump in Washington to seek U.S. security assurances against future Russian aggression. This meeting comes as Ukraine prepares to sign a significant economic agreement with the U.S. for reconstruction funding. The preliminary deal includes a joint investment fund, with Ukraine contributing 50% of future natural resource revenues. Zelenskyy insists that any economic agreement must also include specific security guarantees for Ukraine, which Trump has been hesitant to commit to. Zelenskyy aims to clarify U.S. military aid plans and explore options for purchasing weapons. Concerns remain about a potential peace deal that may not favor Ukraine, especially given Trump's past comments and actions regarding Russia.
