U.S. and Ukraine Sign Minerals Deal

The United States and Ukraine have formalized a new economic agreement aimed at giving the U.S. access to minerals from Ukraine's reserves while providing implicit security for Kyiv against Russian attacks. The deal, reached after prolonged negotiations, seeks to balance President Trump's concerns about support for Ukraine during the conflict with President Biden's push for peace. The Treasury Secretary emphasized that no one involved in Russia's war machine can benefit from Ukraine's reconstruction, ensuring a clear commitment to long-term stability and prosperity.
