Ukraine Will Send A Team To U.S. Next Week For Talks On A New Draft Mineral Deal
1 week ago
Ukraine's economy minister has told The Associated Press it will send a delegation to Washington next week for talks on a new draft of a proposed mineral deal with the U.S. The negotiations mark a renewed push to finalize an agreement that could establish a joint investment fund. Talks had stalled earlier this year after a contentious Oval Office meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The latest U.S. draft is more comprehensive and has drawn criticism from some Ukrainian lawmakers over concerns it could undermine Kyiv’s control of its natural resources.
