The United States and Ukraine are preparing to sign a minerals deal following a tense Oval Office meeting in which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was dismissed. US President Donald Trump plans to announce the agreement in his State of the Union address tonight. The deal was put on hold after the meeting, but US officials have been in talks with Ukrainian officials to move forward with signing. Zelensky has expressed readiness to sign the deal and called the meeting regrettable.
