The first zero-tariff country for the United States has been determined! Ukraine's situation is comparable to that of the Qing Dynasty!
The U.S.-Ukraine mineral agreement was successfully signed today, and crypto media is vigorously promoting it as an important step towards peace. This matter is indeed closely related to the crypto sphere, with the main connection being the recognition of Trump's character through this event; the mineral agreement requires purely objective analysis.
1. In chaotic times, what we need most in the crypto sphere is to recognize a person clearly and clarify a matter. The mineral agreement essentially tests our flexible judgment.
2. The main content of the agreement:
The U.S. funds the development of Ukrainian minerals, with both sides holding 50% equity and profit, but Ukraine does not need to invest. The U.S. holds the dominant position, responsible for introducing partners, promoting Ukraine's entry into international organizations, and promises that half of the profits will continue to be invested in Ukrainian infrastructure. Both parties implement zero tariffs; the U.S. commits to ensuring Ukraine's long-term prosperity.
3. Many media outlets agree with Trump mainly because: Ukraine's mineral resources are primarily located in the currently Russian-occupied areas, and the U.S. will indirectly assist Ukraine in reclaiming land; the U.S. has no need to sell out Ukraine.
4. Does this resemble the first national trusteeship contract of the new era? It is evident that what Ukraine lacks is not the U.S. division of resource extraction; it is clear that the U.S. is taking advantage of the weak in chaotic times. Trump is recouping losses, not helping.
5. Once Trump signs the agreement, whether or not there is a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine becomes unimportant to him; he can present the agreement to American voters during his term and redirect the blame for the Russia-Ukraine conflict onto the Democrats, claiming that he did not initiate the war.
6. The order of these events is also wrong; if Trump were to help Ukraine, he should first help Ukraine sign a peace agreement or provide weapons to defeat Russia, and then sign a reconstruction agreement.
7. We Chinese have experienced too much of this. This matter essentially does not solve any Russia-Ukraine issues; it solves Trump's issues.
8. Historically, there has been no precedent for Russia returning what it has seized; everyone can give Trump some time to see if he dares to operate an excavator in the Russian-occupied areas to mine? If he dares, I respect him as a real man; I have wronged him!
