The deal will give the United States access to rare-earth and other critical minerals as part of an overall plan to help Ukraine recover after a truce in the war with Russia. Trump said the deal allowing US exploitation of Ukraine’s natural resources would be \”very fair\” The deal is expected to be signed in the coming days and will allow the U.S. access to Ukraine’s mineral resources. The US President said a truce with Russia is \”fairly close\” and that the deal would be ‘very fair’ The deal was agreed in principle in July, but has not yet been signed. The United States and Ukraine have been at loggerheads over Ukraine since the Ukraine war began in March 2014. The U.N. Security Council voted in favor of a cease-fire in the Ukraine earlier this month, but Russia has refused to accept it. The Russian government has said that it will not accept the cease-fires until the Ukrainian government accepts it.
