JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia, March 11 (Xinhua) -- A high-stakes meeting between U.S. and Ukrainian delegations started in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.
The talks in the Saudi port city of Jeddah came about two weeks after a U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal was called off. U.S. military assistance to Ukraine was also suspended after U.S. President Donald Trump and then visiting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky were embroiled in a rare shouting match at the White House. ■
