Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived at the White House today for talks with US President Donald Trump in an effort to discuss how to end the ongoing war in Ukraine. The meeting is said to be crucial as both leaders are expected to discuss and potentially sign a deal that would give the US access to rare Ukrainian minerals.
However, Zelensky is keen on including security guarantees in the deal, emphasizing the importance of ensuring the safety and stability of his country. The meeting is expected to start with a brief media appearance in the Oval Office, followed by a more in-depth discussion and a news conference later on.
The timing of this meeting is significant, coming just a week after Zelensky criticized Trump for being influenced by disinformation spread by Russia. In response, Trump accused Zelensky of being a dictator, adding another layer of tension to the already complex relationship between the two countries.
As the two leaders come together to address these pressing issues, the outcome of their discussions could have far-reaching implications for the future of Ukraine and US-Ukraine relations. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
