The upcoming minerals deal between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky, set to be signed on Friday, has been clarified by a senior US administration official. The official stated that the agreement does not entail any promises of future American support to Kyiv, nor does it involve commitments of US personnel in the region.
This lack of security guarantees in the deal highlights Trump's approach to resolving the conflict in Ukraine. He views the rare earths agreement as a form of repayment for past US assistance to Ukraine, rather than a pledge for future military backing.
