The Trump administration reached a deal with Ukraine to give U.S. investors preferential access to Ukraine’s supply of rare earth minerals on Wednesday, weeks after an Oval Office blow-up between Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky put it on hold.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the news in a press release later, which described the agreement as a recognition of the “significant financial and material support that the people of the United States have provided to the defense of Ukraine.”
