Zelenskyy Rejects Trump's Proposal to Cede 50% of Ukraine's Mineral Resources

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has firmly rejected a proposal from U.S. President Donald Trump that would grant the United States ownership of half of Ukraine's mineral and oil resources as "payment" for U.S. support. Zelenskyy emphasized his commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty, stating, "I can't sell our state, nation." This development comes amid escalating tensions between the two leaders, with Trump labeling Zelenskyy a "dictator" and casting doubt on future U.S. aid to Ukraine.
