Ukrainian President: Talks with the United States on mineral resource agreement show positive momentum

According to BlockBeats, on April 15th, Ukrainian President Zelensky stated that talks with the United States on a mineral resources agreement were positive and that more meetings would be held in the future. BlockBeats previously reported that on March 28th, a draft proposal summary showed that the Trump administration had proposed a new, broader mineral agreement with Ukraine. Sources say that the United States has revised its initial proposal to not provide future security guarantees to Ukraine, but to require it to contribute all revenues from the use of natural resources managed by state-owned and private enterprises in Ukraine to a joint investment fund. The terms proposed by Washington far exceed the agreement discussed in the days leading up to Trump Zelensky's controversial meeting in the Oval Office last month. One of the sources said that US Treasury Secretary Vincent has been leading negotiations on behalf of the United States. Furthermore, according to this summary, the proposal did not mention the issue of the United States owning nuclear power plants in Ukraine, which Trump had previously mentioned.
