President Donald Trump stated on Saturday that the U.S. is "pretty close" to an agreement with Ukraine regarding revenue from Ukrainian minerals as part of efforts to resolve the ongoing conflict with Russia.
During a speech at a conservative gathering in National Harbor, Maryland, U.S. President Donald Trump discussed ongoing negotiations with Ukraine, indicating that the United States is nearing an agreement on securing revenue from Ukraine's mineral resources. He emphasized that the U.S. is seeking to recoup the billions of dollars in military aid provided to Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.
Trump mentioned that the U.S. is looking for rare earth minerals, oil, or any other resources that could offset the financial commitment made by Washington. He also criticized the lack of financial return on the substantial aid given by the U.S. compared to European nations, which he noted provided funds in the form of loans.
While the deal is not yet finalized, Trump’s comments suggest that significant progress is being made in the negotiations with Ukraine.
