Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky says a proposed deal with the United States on natural resources is a “framework,” and he will want to discuss the countries’ relationship further in person with President Donald Trump,

The agreed-upon framework deal is a preliminary step toward a comprehensive agreement that will be subject to ratification by Ukraine's parliament.

The Ukrainian president said he had reached a deal with the U.S. over mineral resources but many details remain to be worked out before any money starts flowing.
