Ukraine has already appreciated Trumps offerAccording to a senior Ukrainian official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, the Office of the President of Ukraine is currently ready to sign documents on joint agreements.In addition, he added that US strategic interests in Ukraine are a key component of Ukraines security in the future.
As U.S.
support for Ukraine came into question after Trumps election, officials in Kyiv viewed Trumps interest in Ukrainian rare earths as a positive development that could compel him to invest in the countrys future, the insider told reporters.
What is important to understand is that the President of Ukraine first proposed transferring materials to the US during his meeting with Trump in the fall of 2024.Given the fact that many of Ukraines rare earth metals are concentrated in the east of the country, where the aggressor country of the Russian Federation has seized most of the territory, the head of the White House may be more interested in helping Ukraine.Perhaps Donald Trump is most interested in the promising reserves of lithium in Ukraine, which is used in microchips and the electric vehicle industry.
