After his whirlwind two-day visit to Ukraine, President Donald Trump's special envoy for Russia and Ukraine retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg is within striking distance of sealing a rare-minerals agreement with the country.
The Ukrainian side made suggestions to the agreement text and sent it back to the American side.
Trump is seeking the rights to access Ukraine's natural resources in exchange for the United States having provided billions of dollars in support for the Eastern European country against Russia’s invasion. Trump said on Friday that the mineral deal is "pretty close."
The White House stresses that the deal would not be a guarantee of future aid for the war with Russia.
As the world turn!!
