  • US President Donald Trump said in mid-March that the deal to grab a share of Ukraine's natural resources would be signed "very shortly," as he continues to push for an end to Russia's three-year war in the country.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's interest in Ukraine's mineral resources, particularly in the context of his broader geopolitical and economic strategies. It highlights that Ukraine possesses significant deposits of minerals like lithium, uranium, titanium, and rare earth elements, which are crucial for various high-tech industries, including electric vehicle batteries, military technology, and renewable energy systems. Trump's interest is framed within his past comments and actions suggesting a desire to exploit these resources for economic gain, potentially as part of negotiations or deals with Russia. The piece also touches on the strategic importance of these minerals in global politics, noting how control over such resources could influence international relations and economic power dynamics. Furthermore, it mentions the ongoing war in Ukraine, which complicates access to these minerals, and how this situation might play into Trump's foreign policy if he were to return to office.
