Ukraine and the United States did not sign an agreement on rare earth metals as originally planned. The signing ceremony was canceled. This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" with reference to Fox, Sky News and The Guardian.
According to the publication, one of the White House premises was “all set” for the signing of the rare earths agreement. But the plans changed after an altercation between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump.
A White House spokesman said that the agreement on minerals between the US and Ukraine had not been signed either.

First, Vance said that the war between Russia and Ukraine should be resolved through diplomacy. In response, the Ukrainian president said that he had already signed an agreement with Putin in the presence of the French president and the German chancellor.
Zelenskyy also said that if a bad deal was signed between Russia and Ukraine, the United States would “feel it.” Vance and Trump were outraged and replied that they would “feel great” and added that Zelenskyy had no right to impose his opinion.
