Trump has sent his Treasury Secretary Scott Besant to Kiev, where he will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, to discuss the issue. Trump hopes the meeting will lead to a written agreement that will protect US investments.
However, Ukrainian President Zelensky agreed to the offer to provide rare mineral resources, including lithium and titanium, to the United States, but noted that Western assistance was needed to remove Russian troops from these mineral-rich regions before investment could take place.
Meanwhile, US officials are planning to impose more responsibilities on European allies to buy more US weapons for Ukraine, thereby reducing the direct financial costs to the US.
Trump's move marks a significant shift in US policy toward the Ukraine war, which has raised new discussions about Ukraine's mineral resources and the role of European allies.
