Mr. Zelensky is expected to come to Washington on February 28. What great expectations will he have from President Donald Trump’s administration this time?

President Zelensky’s visit to Washington on February 28 is expected to focus on finalizing a significant minerals agreement with President Trump. This deal involves sharing revenue from Ukraine’s rare earth mineral deposits with the U.S. The agreement is seen as a way for Ukraine to repay the U.S. for the aid provided during the ongoing conflict with Russia.

Zelensky is also likely to seek additional security guarantees from the U.S., although President Trump has indicated that Europe will be primarily responsible for backing Ukraine militarily. The visit aims to strengthen economic ties and secure further support for Ukraine’s efforts to end the war and rebuild its economy.
