From ABC News: 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.”
Ukrainian Minister of the Economy Yulia Svyrydenko said in a post on X, “Together with the United States, we are creating the Fund that will attract global investment into our country.”
