President Donald Trump reaffirmed his push for a peacekeeping force in Ukraine, claiming it would be “satisfactory to everybody,” despite the Kremlin rejecting NATO troop deployment. Trump’s statement follows his claim that Russian President Vladimir Putin had “no problem” with Western troops in Ukraine, a claim Moscow denied.

The Trump administration insists NATO’s European members must take the lead in Ukraine’s security.

U.S-Ukraine Minerals Deal Almost Done? The U.S. and Ukraine are reportedly close to finalizing a deal that would grant Washington access to Kyiv’s rare-earth minerals in exchange for security guarantees. This agreement comes amid tense negotiations between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. While Ukraine seeks stronger military support against Russia, the U.S. eyes billions in potential revenue from Ukraine’s critical minerals, vital for defense and technology industries. With Trump pushing for a transactional approach to aid, the deal’s outcome could reshape U.S.-Ukraine relations and impact the ongoing war.
