DIGGING IN: A Look at the Specifics of the US-Ukraine Mineral and Energy Deal

Details of the US-Ukraine mineral and energy deal have been revealed as President Donald Trump prepares to meet Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Friday.

Trump and Zelenskyy are expected to finalize the agreement at the meeting.

From Fox Business:

FOX Business’ Edward Lawrence exclusively obtained a copy of the document that will be formally signed during Zelenskyy’s visit to Washington, D.C. on Friday.

The deal is structured to give the U.S. a vested interest in Ukraine by creating the opportunity for a return on U.S. taxpayer’s investment through the sharing of the proceeds from developing rare earth minerals, as well as energy resources like oil and natural gas and infrastructure projects such as data centers.

It would immediately establish a fund that will help facilitate investment in Ukraine from which the U.S. and Ukraine will share the top line revenues, rather than the bottom line, to prevent contractors from padding their expenditures to eat into what would be left over for the two countries.

President Trump believes that the deal shows the U.S. commitment to Ukraine’s security and serves as a signal to Russia that the U.S. doesn’t plan to leave the region.

Trump aide Stephen Miller spoke about the mineral deal on Hannity.

“The minerals deal with Ukraine — what a genius, historic move that accomplishes two fundamental things at once. It creates a pathway for Ukraine to have American involvement and the security that comes with America’s development in Ukraine. And, at the same time, it repays America for all fo the money we’ve spent on Ukraine,” Miller said.
