US and Ukraine sign mineral resources agreement​

The U.S. and Ukraine have signed the deal to create the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund -- the long-awaited deal that gives the U.S. rights to Ukrainian rare earth minerals, both sides announced Wednesday.​

​

“This agreement signals clearly to Russia that the Trump Administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine over the long term," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a press release. "President Trump envisioned this partnership between the American people and the Ukrainian people to show both sides’ commitment to lasting peace and prosperity in Ukraine. And to be clear, no state or person who financed or supplied the Russian war machine will be allowed to benefit from the reconstruction of Ukraine.”​

​

"This partnership allows the United States to invest alongside Ukraine to unlock Ukraine's growth assets, mobilize American talent, capital and governance standards that will improve Ukraine's investment climate and accelerate Ukraine's economic recovery," Bessent said in the video.​

It is a good move.

It helps the Ukraine in rebuilding their country
It helps them modernize their processes
With Americans on the ground, Russia will have to consider any moves they make. The last thing they want is a military response to an attack on US citizens.

Whatever happened with the bio labs Biden was supposedly running out of Ukraine? Anyone remember the Biden bio weapon bio labs?

I do. And I think that the Russians believe that the Russian military destroyed them, if they even existed at all.

On the topic of the OP, I believe that this deal will work out positively for both Ukraine and the USA.

Absolutely agree - it adds to their ability to produce valuable product, it helps pay for rebuilding of their country - it puts American Contractors on the ground who are protected by the US.

Ukraine Mineral Deal Raises Hopes of GOP Uniting Behind Zelensky​

A landmark agreement for Ukraine to hand over half of its future oil, gas and mineral wealth to the U.S. may be thawing a cold war within the Republican Party.​

​

For more than a year, Republicans have been at odds over the war-torn country, with Trump-aligned lawmakers skeptical of continued involvement and national security hawks intent on countering Russia's continued invasion. But several Republicans in Congress told TIME Thursday that the deal gives both factions what they need: a path to continued support that could be sold to voters as either a business arrangement or a moral obligation—or both.​

​

“Yesterday was a very bad day for the dictator and war criminal, Vladimir Putin,” Senator Roger Wicker, a Kansas Republican and chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, tells TIME. “The door is now open for more aid. It's a game changer."​
