NBC News - The U.S. and Ukraine have a deal. The White House said that it had signed an “economic partnership” with Kyiv that, after weeks of volatile negotiations, will give Washington access to some of the war-torn nation's critical minerals and natural resources.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the agreement, established as the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund, will allow the U.S. to “invest alongside Ukraine” to unlock the country's lucrative assets, accelerate its economic recovery and provide the repayment that President Donald Trump has demanded for U.S. military aid.
Ukraine and the U.S. will jointly manage and maintain co-ownership of the investment fund, with neither side holding a dominant vote, Yulia Svyrydenko, Ukraine's economy minister, said. It will be financed by new Ukrainian oil, gas and critical mineral licenses, with 50% of all revenue from the licenses going toward the fund
