Ukraine and the U.S. have reached an agreement on a framework for a broad economic deal that includes access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals, according to three senior Ukrainian officials. The agreement, which could be signed as early as Friday, aims to ensure the continued flow of U.S. military support to Ukraine.
Plans are being made for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to travel to Washington to meet with the U.S. President. The deal does not include a contentious proposal to give the U.S. $500 billion worth of profits from Ukraine's rare earth minerals as compensation for wartime assistance.
