U.S. and Ukraine Sign Mineral Access and Reconstruction Deal
Washington and Kyiv finalized a landmark agreement on Wednesday, granting the United States preferential access to Ukrainian mineral resources while establishing a joint fund for postwar reconstruction. The deal, championed by President Donald Trump, follows months of tense negotiations and aims to bolster Ukraine’s economic recovery amid Russia’s ongoing invasion.
The accord signals Kyiv’s efforts to mend relations with the Trump administration, which had been strained since January. While the agreement focuses on traditional economic sectors, its geopolitical implications may indirectly influence cryptocurrency markets as investors assess shifting commodity flows and reconstruction financing mechanisms.
