Washington: All eyes are on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to Washington this Friday, where a potential meeting with former US President Donald Trump could shape Ukraine’s future. The key question remains—will Trump pledge US support to help Ukraine defend against potential Russian aggression?
Ukraine’s Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal confirmed that both countries have reached a major economic agreement. This deal reportedly includes US access to Ukraine’s valuable rare minerals, a crucial step in strengthening economic ties.
A Historic Economic Deal, But No Security Guarantees
During Zelensky’s visit, his delegation may sign a landmark economic agreement with the US, aimed at funding Ukraine’s war recovery efforts. This deal is being viewed as a crucial move toward ending the ongoing three-year conflict. However, concerns over Ukraine’s security remain a major point of discussion.
Despite these talks, Trump has made it clear that he is not willing to offer US security guarantees for Ukraine. Speaking to reporters earlier this week, he stated, "I am not going to give security guarantees. It is up to Europe."
Trump's Trust in Putin
Meanwhile, Trump has expressed confidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin will honor any ceasefire agreement in Ukraine. He suggested that if a peace deal is reached, Putin would uphold his commitments.
"I can trust Putin to talk about the war in Ukraine," Trump said during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. His comments have sparked debate, as many question whether Moscow can be relied upon to follow through on such agreements.
As diplomatic efforts continue, the world watches closely to see whether Ukraine will secure the support it needs—and what role Trump might play in shaping its future.
