President Donald Trump's administration has reached an agreement with Kyiv on the framework of a rare earth mineral deal that Ukrainian officials hope will strengthen ties with the Trump administration and lay the groundwork for a long-term U.S. security commitment.
Newsweek has reached out to the State Department and White House on Tuesday afternoon for comment.
The agreement could be finalized as soon as Friday, with plans underway for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to travel to Washington for a meeting with Trump, a Ukrainian official told the Associated Press
Another official said the agreement would give Zelensky and Trump a chance to discuss ongoing military aid to Ukraine, making its finalization a priority for Kyiv. The agreement does not include security guarantees. One official said that this would be a topic for discussion when Zelensky and Trump meet.
Trump, speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, said Tuesday he'd heard that Zelensky was coming and added that "it's okay with me, if he'd like to, and he would like to sign it together with me."
Trump called it "a very big deal," adding that it could be worth a trillion dollars. It could be whatever, but it's rare earths and other things."
Why This Matters
Negotiations on the deal have advanced despite a recent exchange of sharp rhetoric between Trump and Zelensky over their disagreements on the matter.
Zelensky resisted signing a proposal pushed by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during his visit to Kyiv earlier this month and reiterated his objections days later in Munich during a meeting with Vice President JD Vance, arguing that the American plan lacked security guarantees.

>>1387204 Sounds like, despite the eurocock suckers and complaints of the worthless vocal and vapid Ucraine supporters (AKA NAFO trannies), gRumpf has created a situation in which we, the US, are now obligated to protect Urkcraine.
AND we get something out of the alliance instead of just spending tax payer dollars to shoot people.
Possibly a good move.

Russia should have given up hope of taking Kiev long ago, and Ukraine and the west should have given up trying to reclaim Crimea and Donbass. The off ramp was always gonna be like the Soviet-Finlad war. Small concessions (my version of reality would cede Donbass + Zapo but not Kherson. This cede territory both ways, including Kursk Russian terrify Ukraine holds. Ukraine would not join Nato but be under Western protection to prevent Russia from re entering. That mineral deal would go through, giving the West an actual interest in defending it and dettering Russia)

The article says that the US will have a joint venture receiving 50% of the proceeds from mineral and gas extraction to repay the US for its aid

You know that doesn't stop other people from reaching out to them right? The white house doesn't control every official in the world, and most people don't consider using a name used by the rest of the world to be an invalidating factor.

This is not what we voted for. We did not. Vote to continue propping up Ukraines illegal invasion of Donbas and Luhansk and Crimea. We are entitled to those minerals anyways based off what we already gave them under Bribens regime. We don't need to give them more. END THIS WAR TRUMP DONT FUCK IT UP

>>1387782 1. No he didn't. The people jailed were either literal russian agents or just corrupt. Ironically he had nothing to do with the supreme court guy; that was entirely the judicial branch.
2. Trump himself walked that back.

>>1387945 I never used the term dictator, but If that's the term to use to equate a leader suspending democracy, then yeah, I guess so.
All I said is that zelensky made the decision to cancel elections, it is nowhere in the Ukraine constitution to suspend elections if they are at war, and whoever made up that claim lied. Shrimple as that.
