Part 2/8:
In a landmark achievement, President Trump, now 100 days into his presidency, solidified a deal that involves the United States’ access to Ukraine's mineral rights. This deal, a response to the hundreds of billions the Biden administration allocated to Ukraine over the previous years, aims to turn foreign aid into an investment opportunity for the U.S.
This agreement grants American energy companies first rights to all minerals, hydrocarbons, and resources from Ukraine, an essential step in enhancing national security. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant was present to finalize this agreement, signaling a new era of financial exchange between the U.S. and Ukraine.
