Analysts\u200b suggest that\u2062 this mineral deal may bolster Trump&#8217;s standing and could serve as a strategic negotiation point with Russia.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Ukrainian authorities have agreed to a mineral rights deal with President Donald Trump, and the arrangement could be formalized as soon as Friday when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is slated to visit the White House.<\/p>\n<p>The Wall Street Journal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/europe\/ukraine-agrees-to-mineral-rights-deal-with-u-s-3bbd871f?st=h6dBHL&amp;reflink=desktopweb_permalink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> on Tuesday that the text of the deal has been approved by both countries.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration reportedly dropped its request for the right to $500 billion in revenue from Ukrainian mineral resources.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has framed the deal as necessary to recoup substantial American funding of the Ukrainian war effort against Russia.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a very big deal.
