The rare earth metals should be important in electronics, and Ukraine should accommodate particularly large deposits.
Trump also believes that he has been notified by Kiev that they are willing to develop an agreement that gives the United States access to rare minerals and metals, and says he wants to secure US access to topics that are important to technology.
– We go in with hundreds of billions of dollars. They have important earth metals. I want guarantees for the rare earth metals, and they are willing to give us that, he says according to AP.
Trump also says he has seen progress to stop the war between Russia and Ukriana.
– We’ll see what happens. We will stop this warmed war, he says.
