US and Ukraine strike highly anticipated minerals deal | ITV News
The United States and Ukraine signed an economic deal on Wednesday that would give Washington access to Kyiv’s critical minerals and natural resources, according to the US Treasury Department. It comes after President Trump marked his 100th day in office.
The two sides offered limited details about the structure of the deal, which they called the United States-Ukraine Reinvestment Fund.
But it is expected to give the US access to Ukraine’s valuable rare earth minerals while providing Kyiv a measure of assurance about continued American support in its grinding war with Russia.
