Tensions Rise as Zelensky Rejects U.S. Deal on Ukraine’s Critical Minerals. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has rejected U.S. demands for access to Ukraine’s vast reserves of critical minerals despite pressure from Washington. White House national security adviser Mike Waltz expressed frustration, stating that the proposed deal, offering U.S. access to rare minerals in exchange for continued aid, was a “historic opportunity” for Ukraine. The U.S. argued the deal would compensate for its extensive support during Ukraine’s war with Russia. However, Zelensky stood firm, declaring, “I can’t sell our state”. The rejection has strained relations, especially following Zelensky’s recent sharp remarks about President Trump, further complicating diplomatic ties.
