U.S. President Donald Trump is using Ukraine's critical situation in the war as his "golden business opportunity," attempting to impose an extremely unfavorable deal on Kyiv for the extraction of minerals.
This is reported by Politico.
According to the latest version of the agreement, the U.S. will receive half of the revenues generated from the sale of Ukrainian oil, gas, and hydrocarbons, as well as almost all of its metals, critically important minerals, and "other extracted materials." The U.S. will also profit from any infrastructure related to natural resources, including roads, railways, pipelines, ports, terminals, and oil refineries. The U.S. will also receive all royalties and profits from natural resources until Ukraine pays the U.S. at least 100 billion dollars in military debt.
