The Trump administration has announced a joint investment fund aimed at sharing future revenues from Ukraine's mineral resources. This deal, following intense negotiations, aims to ensure tighter ties between the U.S. and Ukraine amidst ongoing conflict with Russia. While some Ukraine allies view this as a constructive development, others are wary, perceiving it as the U.S. potentially exploiting Ukraine's dependency on assistance without providing any solid assurances of military support. The implications of this deal are still uncertain, especially with continuous clashes between the two nations.
The U.S. will share future revenues from Ukraine's mineral reserves under an agreement announced by the Trump administration that creates a joint investment fund between the countries.
The agreement, which comes after months of fraught negotiations, is intended to give President Trump a personal stake in Ukraine's fate while addressing his concerns that the U.S. has provided Kyiv with a blank check to try to withstand Russia's invasion.
Ukraine allies in Washington expressed some relief, calling the deal a notable improvement over earlier versions and a sign that Kyiv can work constructively with Trump.
Others have seen the deal as the U.S. taking advantage of Ukraine's reliance on American aid to win control of valuable natural resources, without offering strong guarantees in return.
