Summary at a Glance

US President Donald Trump confirmed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will visit the White House to sign a major minerals deal but refused to guarantee Ukraine’s security.

President Zelensky said he plans to visit Washington, USA, to discuss with the US president a draft agreement which would give the US access to the extraction of rare earth minerals in Ukraine in exchange for military aid.

The meeting will come after sparring last week, in which Trump called Zelensky a ‘dictator’ and Ukraine’s leader shot back that Trump is ‘living in a disinformation space’ created by Russia.

Ahead of Zelensky’s meeting with Trump set for Friday, the US president said: ‘I’m not going to make security guarantees beyond – very much.

Meanwhile, Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, clearly sided with Russia amid peace negotiations that last week excluded Zelensky.
