Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Washington to discuss a key minerals deal with US President Donald Trump. The agreement would grant the US access to Ukraine’s rare minerals, but Zelensky is pushing for security guarantees, which Trump insists should be handled by Europe. Their White House meeting includes a ceremony, working lunch, and media briefing. This comes after tensions between the leaders, with Trump previously calling Zelensky a "dictator" and Zelensky accusing Trump of being misinformed by Russia. Later, Zelensky will meet the Ukrainian community before heading to the UK for talks with PM Keir Starmer and EU leaders.
