Washington:
On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy did not finalize a minerals agreement, according to a White House official who spoke to Reuters.
While Trump has not dismissed the possibility of an agreement, it will only occur once Ukraine is prepared for a productive dialogue, a senior U.S. official indicated. The decision to reschedule the leaders’ canceled joint news conference while Zelenskiy is still in the U.S. rests with the Ukrainians, the official mentioned.
