President Trump is pursuing a deal with Ukraine focused on American access to the country's mineral resources, estimated to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. However, this agreement apparently lacks US security guarantees for Ukraine, with Trump suggesting Europe should bear that responsibility. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is scheduled to visit Washington to discuss the deal and seek assurances regarding future security. Zelenskyy hopes the mineral deal will lead to security guarantees, which he sees as essential for a meaningful ceasefire, while Trump aims to recoup US aid through resource exploitation. The potential agreement is portrayed as a business venture by some, raising concerns about whether it prioritises American interests over Ukrainian security. The UK also believes that Europe needs to take more responsibility for Ukraine's safety, and that any negotiations about Ukraine's future must include Ukraine.
