Trump says Zelensky 'three weeks late' on signing mineral deal
President Trump on Friday said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is late to sign the minerals agreement with the U.S., nearly two months after an expected deal signing was called off.
“Ukraine, headed by Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has not signed the final papers on the very important Rare Earths Deal with the United States. It is at least three weeks late. Hopefully, it will be signed IMMEDIATELY. Work on the overall Peace Deal between Russia and Ukraine is going smoothly. SUCCESS seems to be in the future!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Trump shared the post while he was traveling to Rome for Pope Francis’s funeral, which Zelensky is also planning to attend.
Trump last week said he expects to sign the deal with Ukraine in the coming days, telling reporters it would be “soon.” At the time, Treasury Department Secretary Scott Bessent clarified that White House officials were “still working on the details” of where and when the signing would take place, but that they were “shooting for” this upcoming Saturday.
