0:20Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump said his administration wants an agreement with Ukraine for the war-torn country to offer access to its critical mineral resources in return for aiding its defense against Russia.
“We’re looking to do a deal with Ukraine where they’re going to secure what we’re giving them with their rare earth and other things,” Trump said Monday at the White House. “We want a guarantee. We’re handing them money, hand over fist.”
Trump has said he aims to reach a negotiated end to the nearly-three-year war between Russia and Ukraine, and has often criticized former President Joe Biden’s financial and military support for Kyiv. He’s also called on President Vladimir Putin to reach an agreement, threatening further sanctions and saying the war has devastated Russia’s economy.
The US has been Ukraine’s largest backer since Moscow’s February 2022 full-scale invasion. That includes more than $30 billion in budget support and almost $70 billion in security assistance, according to estimates by the Council on Foreign Relations, citing data as of September.
