to $500 billion in potential

The Financial Times cited Ukrainian officials as saying Kyiv is now ready to sign the agreement after the United States “dropped demands for a right to $500 billion in potential revenue from exploiting the resources.” It said the draft deal did not include specific U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine in the face of Russia’s assault, which had been one of Kyiv’s complaints about previous versions. The reports of agreement on the terms came less than a month after Trump said on February 3 that his administration was “looking to a do a deal with Ukraine to secure what we’re giving them with their rare earth and other things.” His remarks sketched the bare outlines of a trade-off: U.S. aid, including the tens of billions of dollars in mostly military support that Washington has already provided, in exchange for access to critical minerals. สล็อตเว็บตรง
