Zelnsky talks to Trump about the US Minecraft Agreement in Ukraine
The Ukrainian president meets and consults with Trump today to talk about the US Mining Agreement in Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Walodimir Zelnsky is scheduled to meet Donald Trump today (Friday) to negotiate an agreement on US mining in Ukraine to extract rare earth metals.
Rihanosti News agency reported that Zelnski is set to talk to Trump about the agreement.
The agreement will allow the United States to access rare earth metals, though Ukraine does not provide any security guarantees needed in the war with Russia.
The start of talks on the agreement comes as European and Ukrainian officials have expressed concern, Zelnski has become a strategic mistake without precisely specifying the terms of the agreement.
February 3, Trump said the United States expects Ukraine to give its rare metals to the United States in exchange for Washington’s military and military aid. Last week, the Washington Post newspaper quoted members of Congress as saying that US negotiators met with Zelkski on the sidelines of the Munich’s annual security conference on Munich to provide a document to transfer 5 % of Ukrainian mining rights to the United States.
Zelksky said he refused to sign an agreement with Washington on its access to the mineral resources of his country, arguing that their proposed document was “not independent for Ukraine.”
Earlier, the Financial Times reported that the Ukrainian president had rejected Washington’s proposal to seize about 5 % of his country’s rare earth mineral rights and is trying to negotiate for a better deal.
The US president said yesterday at a news conference with British Prime Minister Kerry Starmer in Washington about Zeansky’s trip: Tomorrow, Zelnski will travel to the United States and we will sign a historic agreement by the United States in the Ukrainian partner in valuable minerals, oil and gas. This agreement will benefit Ukraine. We will dig in Ukraine.
“Europe’s aid to Ukraine is a loan and Europe will return, but we did not have such a condition in the Biden government and there were no conditions for the return of the US money,” Trump said. With this agreement, Ukraine’s capital will return and will help to secure Ukraine.
He added: “With the help of Ukraine, our weapons reserves have declined and we need to increase it.” The valuable resource agreement with Ukraine will help the US defense industry. In the first month of our government, more progress has been made for peace.
