The Trump administration sees its resource deal with Ukraine as a model for further international agreements, reflecting the president’s strategy of using Washington’s foreign policy heft to secure assets and investment returns overseas.
The deal signed on Wednesday grants the US privileged access to new projects that develop Ukraine’s natural resources, and was a key demand by President Donald Trump for continued assistance against Russia’s full-scale invasion.
