Donald Trump stated on Thursday that the US will soon sign a minerals and natural resources deal with Ukraine, linking it to his ongoing peace efforts after recent talks with Russian and Ukrainian leaders.
Speaking at a White House event, he mentioned discussions with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, which resulted in a 30-day pause in Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
Trump believes these efforts could save thousands of lives and remains hopeful about ending the war.
The US and Ukraine had previously agreed to develop Ukraine’s critical mineral resources, with Trump viewing it as a way for Kyiv to repay US support.
However, efforts to finalise the deal faced setbacks after a heated White House meeting with Zelenskyy last month, temporarily halting US military aid.
A revised version of the deal is reportedly more detailed but does not yet include Ukraine’s requested security guarantees. At the same time, the EU has yet to approve additional artillery funding for Kyiv.
