🚨BREAKING: UKRAINE AGREES TO U.S. MINERALS DEAL AFTER TRUMP ADMINISTRATION DROPS $500B DEMAND

Kyiv has finalized a minerals deal with Washington, securing joint development of Ukraine’s oil, gas, and mineral resources—but only after the Trump administration dropped its toughest demands, including a $500 billion revenue claim. The deal establishes a fund where Ukraine will contribute 50% of proceeds from future mineral monetization, but it does not include the security guarantees Kyiv originally sought. With Zelenskyy expected to visit the White House for a signing ceremony, this deal marks a major shift in U.S.-Ukraine relations under Trump. Source: Financial Times thru Mario Nawfal on X
