Volodymyr Zelensky, the head of Ukraine, may visit the White House on Friday to mark a long-sought minerals offer that will firmly bind the two nations for many years, according to President Donald Trump’s statement on Wednesday. Trump formally announced the package as” a pretty big deal” at the start of the first case meeting of his second term.
Trump has interpreted the proposed agreement, which may offer the US exposure to so-called unusual world deposits in Ukraine, as a chance for Kyiv to repay US assistance that was already being provided for the war effort under Democrat President Joe Biden. Trump remarked,” The past leadership put us in a very bad place, but we’ve been able to come to a package where we’re going to get the money up and and a lot of money in the future.”
Zelensky claimed at a press conference early on Wednesday in Kyiv that an economic agreement had been reached, but that his nation believes that US protection promises were still necessary. The outcome of the full agreement may depend on the future discussions in Washington. The construction represents a first step toward a complete package that the Russian parliament must approve, Zelensky said.
According to Zelensky, Ukraine needs to know first where the US stands on its ongoing military aid. ” This ( economic ) agreement may be part of future security guarantees, but I want to understand the broader vision. What awaits Ukraine”? he said. This agreement may turn out to be a huge success or to complete slowly. And the conversation with Trump determines the great success.
The latest edition of the deal, seen by AP, says the US” supports Ukraine’s efforts to obtain safety offers needed to establish sustained serenity”. However, it doesn’t specify whether the US will give them.
Trump has immediately abandoned some of his past administration’s efforts to remove Russian President Putin. A political source and a Geneva business official said on Wednesday that the US abstained from a speech by members of the World Trade Organization condemning Russia’s brutality in Ukraine.
