On Thursday, Donald Trump said, after that, the United States will sign the natural resource agreement with Ukraine on Thursday, after postponing the motives of the tense corner with Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House in late February.
“One of the things we will do is signing a very close agreement on rare lands with Ukraine,” Trump said during an event. The agreement will allow the United States to receive compensation for the military support provided to Ukraine in the conflict with Russia.
The agreement states that Ukraine contributes to half of the future sales of natural resources, including minerals, oil and natural gas, in the reconstruction fund in partnership with the United States.
White House spokeswoman confirmed that the agreement between Ukraine and the United States exceeds the issue of minerals. “We are now focusing on a long -term peace agreement.
The US President’s comments appear after a telephone conversation with the Ukrainian counterpart on Wednesday, where a possible ceasefire was discussed about Russian energy targets, and he also suggested to Vladimir Putin, in a first step to obtain a wider rest. Regarding the American peace efforts in Ukraine, Trump said they are running “well.”
However, the efforts made to reach a metal agreement with Ukraine raises doubts, as the country does not have significant land reserves, as it indicates Bloomberg, but of charcoal, oil, iron ore, uranium, titanium and magnesium, among other things, which may be profitable to the United States.
Trump talked about the mineral agreement shortly after summoning emergency powers to increase the American productive capacity of critical minerals as well as coal to reduce dependence on imports.
“I have also signed an executive to increase critical mineral production and rare lands. It is very important in this country, and as you know, we also sign agreements in different places to cancel the insurance of rare and mineral lands and many other things around the world, especially in Ukraine,” Trump said.
