Trump-Zelenskyy News: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet US President Donald Trump in Washington on Friday, which is being watched closely by the world. This meeting is considered important not only for Ukraine but also for international diplomacy and global security equations. It is likely to be clear in this meeting whether Trump will promise to provide US assistance to Ukraine against Russian aggression in future.Ukraine-US economic agreementUkraine Prime Minister Denis Shmyhal has confirmed that the two countries have reached an agreement on a comprehensive economic deal. Under this agreement, the US will get access to Ukraine's rare mineral resources, which can prove to be economically beneficial for both countries.The Ukrainian delegation will try to finalize this historic agreement during its visit to Washington. The deal aims to arrange financial resources for the reconstruction of war-torn Ukraine. However, Ukraine's security concerns also remain about this agreement, as no concrete security guarantee has been announced by the US so far.Uncertainty over US role and security guaranteesUnder the Trump administration, the US foreign policy has seen many changes. Recently, Trump made it clear that he would not give any kind of security guarantee to Ukraine. He said in a press conference, "I am not going to give security guarantees. It is up to Europe." After this statement, concern has increased in Ukraine and its allies, because without US cooperation, Ukraine may face difficulties in protecting itself from Russian aggression.Trump trusts PutinMeanwhile, US President Donald Trump has also said that he trusts Russian President Vladimir Putin that he will abide by any ceasefire agreement. Trump claimed that if there is a peace agreement, Putin will remain committed to it.During a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump told reporters that he would prioritize talks with Putin to resolve the Ukraine crisis and could reach an agreement with him to negotiate on this issue.Global impact and future directionThis ongoing dialogue between Ukraine and the US is not limited to bilateral relations, but it can have an impact on the whole of Europe and global geopolitics. European countries are keeping an eye on this dialogue because the US stance can also affect Europe's security policy.If the US withdraws from giving military and economic aid to Ukraine, it can give Russia an opportunity to adopt a more aggressive policy. On the other hand, if there is a strong economic and strategic partnership between the two countries, it can create diplomatic pressure on Russia.ConclusionThis high-level dialogue between Ukraine and the US can affect many important aspects. While on the one hand Ukraine will get financial benefits from the economic agreement, Trump's uncertainty about security guarantees has further complicated the situation in Ukraine.It will be interesting to see what changes come in America's foreign policy after this meeting and whether Ukraine really gets its expected help or not. The impact of this meeting will be clearly seen on global politics and security equations in the coming years.
