Volodymyr Zelensky arrived at the White House for a crucial meeting with President Donald Trump. They are expected to announce a deal sharing rights to his country’s rare earth minerals and other natural resources. The US-Ukraine deal is intended to be a step towards a peace agreement ending the Russia-Ukraine war that entered its third year earlier this week. President Trump has been pressured by European leaders to ensure there are security guarantees for Ukraine in any deal with Russia. The minerals are needed in the making of several high-tech equipment for use in defense, automobiles and medicine, as repayment for US contributions to Ukraine to help it defend itself against Russia.
