U.S. and Ukraine Discuss ‘Improved’ Minerals Deal

U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to "resurrect" negotiations on a minerals deal with Ukraine after accusing President Volodymyr Zelensky of being a 'dictator', according to CNN.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that he would not sign the proposed agreement due to a lack of security guarantees.
The proposed deal would allow the U.S. To obtain 50% of Ukraine's rare minerals, which many European leaders criticized as exploitative, claiming it offered 'very little' in return.
Zelensky said that signing the agreement was 'not in our interest today' but did not rule out future cooperation with the U.S.
