The developments in the foreign policy front of US President Donald J. Trump’s administration continue to advance at warp speed – it’s a season of non-stop winning.
Now, after heated public debate and a lot of private negotiations, the news breaks that Ukraine has agreed to Trump’s requested mineral rights deal with the US to compensate Americans for the hundreds of billions of dollars invested.
This was first broken by the Financial Times (behind a pay wall), but now has been picked up by many other vehicles.
The agreement came after Trump’s team dropped some of the toughest demands, and it provides that Kiev will contribute 50% of future mineral revenue to a joint fund.
The deal, it’s important to stress, reportedly comes without any Security guarantees.
“President Volodymyr Zelenskiy plans to travel to Washington on Friday to meet U.S. President Donald Trump after officials agreed to terms on a draft minerals deal, two sources with knowledge of the matter said on Tuesday.”
