During a meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump announced plans to sign a natural resources agreement at a press conference later in the day. The agreement is expected to be signed in the East Room following lunch, as stated by Trump in the Oval Office.
Trump expressed optimism about the agreement, emphasizing the importance of halting the ongoing conflict and reaching a deal. He mentioned the establishment of a 'reconstruction investment fund' in the agreement, although the exact amount of US financial contribution remains uncertain.
Trump highlighted the significance of raw earth resources in the deal, noting that the US lacks substantial reserves of such resources compared to its oil and gas reserves. He mentioned that revenue would be generated through the sale and utilization of raw earth resources, indicating potential economic benefits for both countries.
The proposed agreement signifies a potential economic partnership between the US and Ukraine, with a focus on natural resources and investment opportunities. The details of the agreement are expected to be further elaborated upon during the press conference, shedding light on the specific terms and implications for both nations.
