US-UKRAINE MINERALS DEAL: Strategic masterstroke or $350B gamble?
The Trump admin just inked a high-stakes resource pact with Kiev – here’s what’s REALLY inside:
THE DEAL:
50/50 joint fund for Ukraine’s oil, gas & critical minerals
Zero debt repayment for past US military aid
50% revenue cut from new licenses goes to fund
Tax-exempt, US-backed (DFC), 10-year profit lock
Ukraine keeps full control of state firms (Ukrnafta, Energoatom)
THE FINE PRINT:
NO security guarantees; only a vague “long-term strategic alignment,” per The Washington Post.
Ukraine’s parliament must ratify the agreement.
"We made a deal today where we get, you know, much more in theory, than the $350 billion, but I wanted to be protected... I didn’t want to be out there and look foolish," Donald Trump stated on NewsNation.
The big question is WHO BENEFITS MORE – US miners or Ukrainian reconstruction?
