U.S. commits to minerals deal with Ukraine, discusses potential LNG agreement

Investing.com -- The United States, represented by President Donald Trump, has entered into a minerals agreement with Ukraine, with the signing set to take place today. The deal involves the utilization of rare earth minerals for various applications, including artificial intelligence (AI) and military weapons.

However, the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has expressed that the current document is insufficient. He remains hopeful that it will represent a step forward for Ukraine but is eager to discuss what the U.S. is prepared to do further. Zelenskiy also mentioned a potential deal for liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals, which he views as beneficial.

The U.S. president also noted that he had recent discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The conversations were described as good, and Trump mentioned that Putin is interested in making a deal.

The potential for conflict resolution was also discussed, with Trump stating that it would be a great agreement if the war between Russia and Ukraine could be stopped. He mentioned providing arms to Ukraine, though he hopes that it won’t be necessary to send much.

Furthermore, Trump critiqued Zelenskiy, telling him to be thankful, and that he is "gambling with World War III." If a deal between Russia and Ukraine cannot be made, Trump emphasized that the U.S. will no longer intervene.

President Trump clarified his position on Russia, stating, "I’m not aligned with Putin, I’m aligned with the U.S. and the good of the world." He emphasized his role as a mediator, stating he is for both Ukraine and Russia and wants to find a solution.
