The United States and Ukraine have finalized an agreement regarding rare minerals after a two-month delay. This development has been praised by the Trump administration as a show of continued support in light of the recent halt in military assistance. According to Ukrainian officials, this agreement ensures the country’s sovereignty over essential rare earth resources, which are considered vital for the advancement of emerging technologies. The agreement also reflects a profound distrust of Russia, stemming from a decade of aggressive actions including the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine.
