Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a significant mineral rights deal between the US and Ukraine, aimed at enhancing US investment in Ukraine's extensive mineral reserves. This agreement not only improves economic relations between the two countries but also facilitates the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. Trump emphasized the security of American investments and the strategic role of US presence in deterring adversaries like Russia. Key features include a Joint Reconstruction Investment Fund and Ukraine's sovereignty over its natural resources, positioning the US as a crucial player in Ukraine’s rebuilding efforts.
"Our money is secure and we can start digging," Trump said at yesterday's cabinet meeting. "The American presence will keep a lot of bad actors out."
Bessent called it a "great deal" for Washington and Kyiv. "It's win-win," he said.
