White House says it has moved beyond US-Ukraine minerals deal

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The White House said on Wednesday it has moved beyond the previously negotiated U.S.-Ukraine minerals and natural resources deal and is focused on peace between Ukraine and Russia.

“We are now focused on a long-term peace agreement,” said White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt. “We’ve moved beyond just the economic minerals deal framework.”
