"We aim to reach an agreement with Ukraine, where they will ensure that what we provide them will be backed by their rare earth elements and other resources," Trump stated during a conversation with reporters in the Oval Office.
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, previously mentioned that the "victory plan" includes, among other things, protecting and investing in the country's strategic economic potential. This involves valuable natural resources worth trillions of US dollars: uranium, titanium, lithium, graphite, and other strategically important resources.
