So far, the Trump administration has seemed to reverse the U.S. 's position as a strong ally of Ukraine.

In that same speech, Starmer said the UK is ready to put boots on the ground and planes in the air to support a peace deal. If the US and Ukraine sign today's mineral deal, one outstanding question will be how the US plans to extract the resources.
