The US signed a minerals and reconstruction deal with Ukraine. The US will send weapons, and it will provide implicit security.
The US-Ukraine minerals deal aims to grant the U.S. access to Ukraine’s reserves of rare earth minerals.
The United States and Ukraine created a new reconstruction and investment fund. The economic agreement between the two countries aims to grant the U.S. access to Ukraine’s reserves of rare earth minerals.
The United States will continue to provide Ukraine with economic and military support as it tries to broker an end to its war with Russia. The arrangement will give implicit security.
“This agreement signals clearly to Russia that the Trump administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine over the long term,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. “President Trump envisioned this partnership between the American people and the Ukrainian people to show both sides’ commitment to lasting peace and prosperity in Ukraine.”
He added: “And to be clear, no state or person who financed or supplied the Russian war machine will be allowed to benefit from the reconstruction of Ukraine.”
Thanks to @POTUS @realDonaldTrump’s tireless efforts to secure a lasting peace, I am glad to announce the signing of today’s historic economic partnership agreement between the United States and Ukraine establishing the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund to help… pic.twitter.com/N1jPa35DYh

I doubt the deal includes any military aid.
I think they only mean weapons, which I personally want to stop. It’s not published yet.
It appears this isn’t all that great a deal, for the US anyway. No profits will be realized for 10 years, according to Minister of Economy, reported by Military Summary.
It isn’t a good deal and it probably keeps the war going.
This is the person who posted a detailed synopsis. Not having an ‘X’ account this link was all I could see. A different post had the details.

I don’t like it. We’re dealing with one of the most corrupt nations in Europe and fights over the 50/50 deal are guaranteed. I need more information. What do you think?
Not too sure about this move…especially due to the ‘nature’ of the ‘beneficiary’,..looks a lot like ‘Double Jeopardy’.
So us taxpayers are on the hook for rebuilding Ukraine while corporations will come in and profit from the minerals? Will there be a decades long security force of American military there, just like we are in Germany and other places? Asking for a concerned friend.
