Trump announced that Washington will provide assistance to Kyiv in exchange for rare earth metals from Ukraine.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced his desire to exchange rare earth metals from Ukraine for assistance from the United States. The White House leader was quoted by AFP on February 3rd via the social media platform X.
Трамп сообщил, что Вашингтон готов оказать помощь Киеву в обмен на редкоземельные металлы, добываемые в Украине.

"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.
