The U.S. and Ukraine have announced an economic deal after a weeklong press by President Donald Trump calling on Ukraine to compensate Washington for billions in military and economic assistance to help Ukraine repel the Russian invasion. The long-awaited critical deal gives the U.S. access to Ukraine's valuable mineral resources. Trump indicated in February that he wanted access to Ukraine's rare Earth materials as a condition for continued U.S. support in the war, but talks stalled after a tense oval office meeting of U.S. and Ukrainian leaders.
