Uncertainty Over Minerals Deal
In a surprising turn of events, the United States and Ukraine have reached an agreement to sign a minerals deal, amid a backdrop of strained ties between the two nations. The deal, which was supposed to be announced by US President Donald Trump in his address to Congress on Tuesday evening, has raised more questions than answers. Will the deal materialize, or is it just a pipe dream?
According to unnamed sources, the two countries plan to sign the deal, but there is no official confirmation from the Trump administration. The US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, has refuted the report, stating, "There is no signing planned." What does this mean for the fate of the deal?
What did Zelensky say?
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed his commitment to peace and cooperation with the United States. In a series of tweets, he reiterated Ukraine’s desire for a constructive dialogue with Washington. Zelensky met with President Trump and his number two, JD Vance, in an Oval Office meeting that turned into a heated argument. Zelensky took to social media and stated, "It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive."
The Plan for Peace
Zelensky outlined a plan for ending the war in Ukraine, which he believes can be achieved by releasing prisoners and implementing a truce in the air and sea. He emphasized the importance of working together with the US to agree on a strong final deal. "We are ready to work and cooperate with the Trump administration to bring lasting peace to our country," he said.
Will the Deal Come to Fruition?
The signing of the minerals deal is still uncertain, with the White House, Ukrainian presidential administration, and Ukrainian embassy in the US remaining silent on the matter.

How will the deal change the dynamics between Washington and Kiev?
