President Donald Trump recently stated that he does not believe the proposed investment deal aimed at securing access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals is dead, contrary to previous signals from his administration. During a press briefing, Trump mentioned that he will provide further updates during his upcoming speech to a joint session of Congress.
While Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had indicated earlier that the investment deal was not currently being considered, Trump's latest comments suggest a potential shift in the administration's stance on the matter.
